The skin: let's get to know it better
 
WHAT IS THE SKIN?

The skin is the largest organ in the human body and is responsible for protecting our body from harmful external agents such as bacteria and UV rays.
It is composed of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue.
The epidermis is the outermost layer and is what we see when we look at our skin, the dermis is the middle layer that contains blood vessels, nerves and sweat glands, and the subcutaneous tissue is the deepest and contains fat and connective tissue.
