Episode notes
Skin Is Your Largest Organ
- Your epidermis, or skin, is your body's largest organ and protects you from germs and infection.
- It also responds to temperature, pain, pleasure, and stress, serving as an emotional and sensory organ.
Choose Gentle Facial Cleansers
- Avoid using antibacterial hand soap on your face to protect your skin's good bacteria.
- If your skin feels tight after washing, switch to a gentler cleanser that doesn't strip natural oils.
Wash Face At Least Once Daily
- Wash your face at least once a day at night to remove pollutants, sunscreen, and makeup.
- If you have oily skin, consider washing in the morning too, but avoid overwashing.
