Skin Facts

The skin is the largest organ of the body.

The skin of an average adult covers approximately 7 square feet of space.

The skin is 16% of a person's body weight.

Every hour, the skin sheds a layer of dead cells and totally renews itself every 3-4 weeks.

A person discards as much as 88 pounds of dead skin in a lifetime.

When it comes to feeding your skin with lotions, it would be well served to use natural products. Be careful of many lotions as they contain many dangerous chemicals. These chemicals are absorbed into your blood stream creating a toxic body. Anything you put on your skin, you should be able to put in your mouth, it all gets into your blood stream.
