The skin has seven functions in the body

Friday, May 27th, 2022

The skin not only gives us our appearance and shape, it also serves other important functions in the body:

Protection: Through the fat cells in the subcutaneous tissue the skin protects the body against blows and falls. The Stratum Corneum acts as a barrier against bacterial invasion. The Stratum Germinativum produces melanin pigment as a natural protection from ultraviolet light.

Regulation: controls our body temperature so that it maintains our internal heat regardless of environmental climate. It does this through the excretion of sweat from the sudoriferous glands, and the dilation of the blood vessels in the dermis.

Sensation: Because the skin contains so many tactile nerve endings, the brain can be made aware of the stimuli of pain, heat, and cold in any part of the body.

Absorption: The skin is able to absorb some oil or fat-based substances on a topical level, but deeper penetration is confined to either medication or application of a water-based substance by means of galvanic current. Penetration of cosmetic preparations is restricted to the epidermal layer only.

Excretion: the eccrine and apocrine glands excrete perspiration and sweat for temperature regulation.

Secretion:
Sebum is secreted by the sebaceous glands, and is a complex mixture of lipids and fatty acids. Adult sebum is fungicidal and germicidal and inhibits the growth of skin surface bacteria. Sebum plays an important part in maintaining the surface of the skin intact.

Respiration: To an extent skin cells of the dermis “breathe,” exuding carbon dioxide and eliminating unwanted gasses into their surrounding connective tissue fluid.

I have been going to Lien for years on and off, she is the best and so sweet and knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to deciding what lash to go with that will look nice specifically for you. They always look so beautiful and I always receive compliments from strangers for my lashes. I always recommend Love Skin Care with Lien

it’s been 5 years since my last review for love skin care so i thought it time to update it. i have been going to Lien since like 2013 to get lashes done and every time since then the lashes turn out so good. Lien is super accommodating and it is SO easy to make an appointment through text. regarding covid-19, Lien is very clean and the bed thing you
lay down on has fresh paper on top, the same kind they use at the doctors office when you sit on the chair. Masks are required and she washes her hands thoroughly before starting. i will say that sometimes there is a little wait from the beginning of your appointment time but it’s not an issue for me, but plan accordingly.

LOVELOVELOVEEE. This was my first time getting eyelash extensions and I was taken care of by Amanda. I called to see if they were able to do a walk in and fortunately, they were. The location was a bit confusing to me at first considering I didn’t see any sign. BUT, as soon as I found it and went inside, the lobby was very clean and professional. Amanda greeted me and was very nice and sweet. She was also very accommodating with how I wanted my lashes and when she finished, it was RIGHT ON. During the process, she was so light handed that I didn’t feel a thing and was able to even fall asleep TWICE. Not only that, Amanda was also very informative with how to take care of my lash extensions. I’m definitely coming back and would recommend this place to anyone who’s interested in getting eyelash extensions. I love my eyelashes!

I’ve been going to Lien for years. I’ve tried other lash places but was never fully satisfied with the end result or the customer service. Lien provides outstanding customer service and is honest about which lash extensions she recommends for you. She will even recommend not continuing with lashes if she feels they are harming the ones you have. She provides high quality lashes, glue, and technique. Her hands are so light that I have fallen asleep many times. Many people have complimented on how nice my lashes are, and I always tell them they are not real and are extensions. I have recommended many friends and family and all have had good experiences. And to add to that her prices are reasonable. Try them out… You won’t be disappointed!
