Your skin is the largest organ of your body. The skin protects your internal organs. Skin is a regenerative organ which means that the skin cells continuously regenerate. Old skin cells die and are replaced by new skin cells regularly. Our skin is exposed to the elements. Apart from extreme temperatures and harsh sunlight or snow, the skin is exposed to pollution as well.

What you can do

The basic measures you need to take include eating healthy. The right food like citrus fruits can rejuvenate your skin cells. Keep your skin hydrated. Due to exposure to sunlight, our skin cells dry up and this can lead to flaky skin. Drinking water keeps your skin moisturized and supple. Try to protect your skin from harsh weather conditions and chemicals.

 Some more tips on skin care:

- Treat your skin well and do not use harmful chemicals like excessive make up regularly.
