The skin
A very important part of beauty is skin care. Keeping her beauty intact. We see two blonde women. One’s skin looks white, pale, dull, while the other’s complexion looks juicy, bright, radiant. The same thing is observed in the case of two shadowy women. The blackness of one looks dull, gloomy, arid, while the other, with its dark color, looks fresh, bright, and sweaty. Skin radiance is an important part of a woman’s beauty. The more flawless, juicy the skin, the more a woman’s beauty is revealed. Studying the skin becomes important while studying the science of cosmetology.
Knowing the ins and outs of the skin is very important. How is the skin made? How is its texture formed? If you don’t know how spots, defects, hair on the skin are formed, how the skin changes with age, then the cosmetic procedure done on the skin is pointless. That is why it is essential to understand how our skin is made. The skin that surrounds our entire body is the largest organ in the body. The thickness of the skin is 2 mm. Protecting against external influences, airborne micro-organisms.
Similarly, the skin performs important functions such as keeping the body temperature constant. The skin is called the idol of health as it regulates the hot temperature by tolerating the external temperature and also expels the dirt from the inside by piercing its own body. Different components of the skin are also useful in this work. Each new top layer of skin gets a chance to regenerate. Because the old layers wear out almost every day. There are mainly three parts of the skin.
1) Epiderm 2) Intradermal 3) Mesentery
1) Epidermis –
Epidermis is made up of five different cell layers. All these cells can be said to be non-living. The softness and freshness of the cells depends on the supply of water, minerals and vitamins from inside and outside the cells. If the roughness of the skin increases or the upper layers accumulate on it, their thickness will naturally increase. This is what we call wrinkles. As the amount of wrinkles increases, a woman starts to look older.
2) Intradermal –
Blood vessels, nerves, glands, oil glands, hair roots are all important components in the skin area. Each gland produces sweat according to the body temperature and expels it through the ducts to help maintain body temperature. Oil glands are located at the root of each hair and elsewhere. It produces an oily substance called ‘sebum’. If you look closely, you can see many tiny pores on your skin. Some of these holes are ducts. Some are oily. The natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands also affects the dryness or greasiness of the skin. Oil production in the sebaceous glands is often dependent on hormones in the body. Low or high oil supply due to excess of hormones.
A) Gland –
A gland is a coiled tube which is deeply embedded in the dermis. From the capillaries around it, the waste part of the blood is filtered into the gland. The tube coming out of this gland comes to the epidermis with a loop like a stool while coming to the surface from the epidermis and there it has its main body. At the point where the mouth of the sweat duct opens, the epidermal point is slightly depressed and there is a microscopic opening of this duct.
The sweat glands in the skin of the ear have a slightly different function, they are called parotid glands. The oily waxy secretion is called karnamal. This secretion protects the eardrum. Sweat glands are more or less scattered throughout the skin. They are abundant in the skin of armpits, palms, soles, forehead. So it looks like there is more sweat.
Pure sweat is very mild and indifferent sweat. But as it collects from the skin, it mixes with dead skin cells and sebum. All the components of blood are present in very small amounts in sweat. The most important salt excreted in sweat is sodium chloride, as well as urea, uric acid, amino acids, ammonia, sugar, lactic acid, ascorbic acid, all organic substances are excreted in sweat. Sweating is closely related to the function of maintaining body temperature. Its secondary function is to excrete waste products from the body.
B) Sebaceous glands :-
These glands are called ‘snehagranthi’, ‘cutaneous’ gland. Very small, sac-shaped sebaceous glands are found throughout the skin. The only exception to this is the skin of the palms and soles of the feet where there are no oil glands. Oil glands are abundant in the skin under the hair of the head and in the skin of the face. They are limited in number in the skin of the nostrils, mouth, auditory canal, and anus.
The oil gland is spherical like an Aquarius and is made up of epithelial cells. Some of these cells are made of fat. As secretions form, those cells mix with the secretions. And new cells are formed there. This produced secretion is released in the hair follicle and from there it comes from the hair to the surface of the skin. The secretion produced in the sebaceous glands is called ‘sebum’. It contains lipids, salts, cholesterol, some proteins like aluminum and the rest of the epithelial cells.
This secretion keeps the hair naturally soft and oily. The secretion spreads with the hair. This protects it from moisture and prevents it from becoming dry and brittle. Oiliness helps to keep it united and healthy. Due to the thin layer of sebum formed on the skin, external water is not absorbed into the skin and also prevents water loss from the skin.
Functions of Skin :-
1) Temperature control 2) Storage 3) Protection and 4) Sensory are four important functions of skin.
1) Body Temperature Control –
The body temperature of a human remains constant in a healthy state regardless of the change in the temperature of the external environment. The skin functions under the command of the thermoregulatory centers in the brain.
2) Storage –
Some amount of water is stored in the skin and in the cells beneath it.
3) Protection –
Beneath the skin are delicate and soft cells, the protective layer of the skin protects them from trauma.
4) Sensory –
This is another important function of the skin. The skin contains different types of nerve endings. For each sense, sense of touch, sense of cold and heat, sense of temperature, sense of pain, sense of pressure, there are different nerve endings in the epidermis.
Glandular Disease –
1) Brome Hydrosis – This disorder is found in the legs due to excessive sweating.
2) Anhidrosis – These skin disorders stop sweating.
3) Hyperhidrosis – Excessive sweating due to fever or weakness.
4) Sweating – An acute disorder of the sweat gland causes the skin to become very itchy.
Diseases of sebaceous glands –
1) Blackheads –
The body produces more oil than is reasonable and spreads over the face. The external dust particles come into contact with the skin and get stuck in the skin pores and due to this a hard coating forms there and blackheads are formed.
2) White Heads –
If the function of the oil gland is not working properly, the secretion from it accumulates under the skin and these appear like white grains, it is called white heads.
3) Pimples –
Pimples on the face, forehead, nose are called pimples due to excess secretion from the oil glands.
4) Redness of the skin –
If there is too much oil, the skin of the nose, cheeks becomes red.
5) Wrinkling of the skin –
If there is some error in the body, the oil glands are not produced and the skin looks rough and dry.
Skin and Hair –
Be it a woman or a man, the attitude of self-understanding has been carried out in a traditional way among them. Of course, women have more of that attitude than men. So why do women use toiletries? Today 90% of women use cosmetics. But many of them use cosmetics blindly. They have more tendency to know exactly how and when to use cosmetics. Everyone should know about the skin type and the cosmetics used according to it and for that our skin should be healthy.
Smooth skin is a sign of good health. If the skin is dry, abhyanga i.e. sesame oil massage with light hands is suitable. After massaging daily before bath, take hot water bath and also take nutritional iodized salt, fenugreek, spinach, sweet lemon leaves, mint, carrot. It reduces dryness, dryness, callous, red spots of the skin.
Use of Toiletries :-
Skin type should be kept in mind while using cosmetics. Cosmetics should be chosen according to skin type. Don’t fall victim to wrong toiletries, use proper toiletries. If we use the right cosmetics, at the right time, we are successful in preserving our youth for longer.
