Skin Care
 

Skin is an important sense organ. The senses of touch, pain, temperature, pressure are all felt by it. It is believed to be derived from mother. It gives external covering to the whole body.
ayurveda states that the skin has seven layers. The seven layers of skin get their nutrition from muscles. It is known as a secondary tissue product of the blood because it only mimics the elements in beholding the body. It does not give nutrition to the other elements constituting the body.
As skin is a secondary tissue product of the blood, it is said to be a mirror that reflects the qualities of the blood and the body's plasma tissue. Hence it is a common saying that 'glowing skin is the result of good quality plasma and blood.
