the layers of the skin

While using great skincare is amazing, education is just as important. 

There are 3 main layers of the skin: the first layer is the epidermis, the second layer is the dermis and the third layer is the subcutaneous layer. 

Epidermis: the thinnest layer of skin. It helps hydrate your body, produces new skin cells, protects your body from damage, and makes melanin, which provides skin color.

Dermis: the dermis supports the epidermis. The dermis has nerve endings, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, hair follicles, and blood vessels. This layer is like the kitchen in a fancy restaurant. It helps the first layer thrive! 

Subcutaneous layer/hypo-dermis: This fatty layer provides insulation for your body, keeping you warm. 

The more you know about your skin, the easier it is to achieve your skincare goals!
