Did you know our nails and hair are made of skin cells, too? No wonder skin is the largest organ in our body. And It's often the first to show signs of internal skin conditions. What's up with that? From devastating date night acne breakouts to sudden eczema flares, our skin can provide clues about what's going on beneath the surface. And we will be your Sherlock Holmes today!
What Does Your Skin Condition Say About You?
Our skin is a big and complex organ that reflects our overall health. Kind of like the goth teen who is watching Interview with the Vampire for the plot. When our bodies are functioning optimally, our skin tends to be clear and radiant. Imagine a Fair & Lovely ad, but the CGI is totally au natural.
However, when we're experiencing internal imbalances or health issues, our skin can become irritated, dry, or prone to breakouts. This is our very first clue. Our skin reacts, and it reacts fast.
There have been so many instances on the internet where people confessed to having been randomly asked to check out a discoloured patch of skin or mole, and it turned out to be cancer or allergy. So do not tread lightly when given such warnings. They're as real as Lestat's abs, which were very crucial to the plot.
