  • Skin
    Many of us don't give our skin much thought -- except when it seems to betray us. Teenage acne, painful sunburns, scratchy winter dryness and mosquito bites alert us whenever our body's largest organ is uncomfortable or misbehaving. But these superficial concerns tend to make us forget how the very top layer of our skin is an amazing example of Mother Nature's brilliant design plan; it is our first defense against, well, everything. From protecting the body from germs and viruses to keeping us warm and cool and cushioning our interior organs, our skin is one of nature's most brilliant packagingdesigns - read on for a closer look!
