People often fail to see the skin as a separate organ of the body. They take more care of other organs such as the kidney but do not pay special attention to skincare. But skincare is essential; it doesn’t matter if you are a man or a woman.
Whether you’re young without a wrinkle, someone who’s struggled with acne your entire life, or an older person at the initial stages of menopause wondering what is going on with your complexion, your skin is still beautiful. This summary explains what proper skincare is and how you can achieve it even if you’re new to the process.
Caroline Hirons is a fully-trained advanced aesthetician with over 35 years of experience in retail and twenty-three of those years in the skincare industry.

The skin acts as a waterproof shield to prevent vital nutrients from leaking out of your body; it regulates your temperature by opening and closing blood vessels and perspiring to allow sweat to evaporate. It provides a safe boundary between your insides and the many harmful toxins and microorganisms in the environment, protecting you from sun damage by producing melanin while synthesizing vitamin D for strong bones and healthy organs. The skin is complex, and to understand how your skincare products work, you need to unravel the various processes that occur under the surface.
The skin is the largest organ of the body and the most likely one to be overlooked by its possessor.
The skin is made up of the epidermis, which is the outermost layer; this is the part that keeps bacteria at bay and is usually the first line of defense. Therefore, it is easy to improve your complexion by keeping the skin clean and exfoliating regularly.
Over–the–counter skincare will only ever treat the epidermis. If you want to go deeper, you’ll need a prescription or a needle. ~ Caroline Hirons
The dermis is the thicker layer of your skin that contains the blood vessels and nerves that give you your sense of touch. Lying between your skin and muscles are layers of fat and tissue, called subcutaneous tissue. It protects your muscles from the physical stress your skin gets every day, insulates, and regulates your body’s temperature. Unfortunately, the subcutaneous layer of the skin tends to thin out as you age, and when this happens, the underlying veins start to show, making the skin lose its smoothness.
If you understand how your skin works, you can start to understand the claims that the skincare industry is making, what works, what is impossible, what your skin does for you, and what you can do for it.
So, whether you have damaged skin or are looking to change your skincare products, this summary is perfect for you. Keep gleaning through this short piece to discover expert tips on how to get the perfect complexion and take care of your skin better.
second key point
Everyone’s skin is beautiful; even more so when everyone embraces the skin tones they are born with
Due to differences in race and nationality, people have different skin tones. Some people are light–skinned, while others have darker skin tones. The obvious difference between the skin tones is the level of melanin dispersion in dark skins. In darker skins, more melanocytes produce melanin, which gives the skin its color. The skin barrier of darker skin tends to lose more trans–epidermal water (TEWL) relative to other skin tones; this means darker skin can feel rough and dry.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

The selections are on point and the summaries are excellent! I listen while I walk my pup 🐶 and have in turn, ordered a few selections! REALLY loving the app, it’s layout, daily selections and features!

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
