Human
body is very sensitive and vulnerable. It is and has
always been an easy target for an arrow, a sword or a
bullet. In all the times people tried to protect their
bodies as well as possible: medieval knights had iron
armor; nowadays policemen use more effective
protection – flak jackets - to survive in the battle
with evil.
It goes without saying that we should value these
mankind inventions; at the same time, we must never
forget about what nature supplied us with to resist
the undesirable and dangerous influence of the
environment. Skin is what I mean.
Though it cannot protect us from a sword or a bullet,
it has always been a very effective means of defense
against ultraviolet rays, heat, cold, viruses and
bacteria, which constantly try to make our bodies
their home for some time, and then to gradually
destroy them.
Besides, skin is a multifunctional component of the
human body. Thermoregulation helps us adjust to the
temperature of the environment due to the widening or
narrowing of blood vessels and the secretion of more
or less liquids by skin’s glands. Metabolic function
is realized during the gas exchange, water-salt
metabolism, etc. After all, due to the skin’s
sensation function we can feel the pleasure of
touching.
I am pretty sure that knights took good care of their
armor for it to remain strong and reliable as long as
possible. We should also do our best to preserve skin
“in the working order” and to make it good-looking
as well.
So, to have healthy and beautiful skin it is desirable
to:
avoid the sunlight, as its ultraviolet rays cause the
most harmful changes in the skin structure, making it
dry, wrinkled, thin and covered with age spots. They
can also provoke skin cancer;
quit smoking, because nicotine is said to have the
same influence on skin as sunlight;
clean and moisturize skin properly (scrubs, creams,
ointments and lotions can be of great help in this
case);
keep to a healthy diet with much fruit and vegetables
to supply skin with all the necessary vitamins.
Drinking much water helps improve its state as well;
avoid stress, because skin is like a mirror,
reflecting everything that is going on in the human
mind.
It is easy to take care of skin when we are young.
Smooth and plump, it needs, perhaps, proper cleaning
only (excluding the cases of skin diseases).
Aging, on the other hand, emphasizes the flaws in our
appearance, takes away the beauty.
It all results in dry, thin and wrinkled skin.
This is a point, when preserving our natural
body-cover beautiful takes much effort and skill to
succeed.
