Human skin is truly amazing. It’s a water proof barrier. It has unique anti-bacterial properties that protect against germs and infection. Plus, it constantly renews itself. To do all this, the skin needs three elements. It needs blood flow. It needs moisture. And more recently researchers have validated the significance of lipids (commonly called skin…
