Show this summer your shiny body skin

Body organs aren’t all internal like the brain or the heart. There’s one we wear on the outside – skin which is human body’s largest organ.

Skin acts as a waterproof, insulating shield, guarding the body against extremes of temperature, damaging sunlight, and harmful chemicals. It also exudes antibacterial substances that prevent infection and manufactures vitamin D for converting calcium into healthy bones.

Here are some of the most interesting facts about your skin:

The average person’s skin covers an area of 6 to 7 square feet.
Skin accounts for about 15% of your body weight.
The average adult has approximately 21 square feet of skin, which weighs 9 lbs and contains more than 11 miles of blood vessels.
The average person has about 300 million skin cells. A single square inch of skin has about 19 million cells and up to 300 sweat glands.
Your skin is its thickest on your feet (1.4mm) and thinnest on your eyelids (0.2mm).
The skin renews itself every 28 days.
