Problems not skin deep

Our skin is the mirror of our body and it is also our protective covering which is exposed to adverse climates and pollution. Being the outer covering, skin is a very vulnerable organ and it falls prey easily to pathogens. It plays an important part in our appearance too; hence it is necessary to protect the skin properly.

There are a lot of disorders that can affect the skin. During summer, the scorching sun may cause sunburn and suntan. The ultra violet radiation in the sunlight causes the sun burn and surely nobody likes to have patches of darkened skin in the body.
