Johannesburg, South Africa -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/31/2013 -- Your skin plays a vital role in your overall health and well-being. Sanex manufactures quality skin care products that have been specially formulated to keep your skin healthy.

Essentially, the skin's main function is to preserve moisture inside your body and to excrete the different types of poisons that can be limiting to your immune system's ability to maintain overall health. It was created to be your body's first line of defence against environmental hazards. And with effective skincare methods, healthy skin has the capacity to renew and hydrate itself.

How to take good care of your skin

When you're taking care of your skin you shouldn't only focus on the outer layers (what we see) because the skin organ has other layers that are also crucial to its health.
- The sebaceous is the inner layer of the skin, which is made up of fat and is responsible for producing sebum (natural oils that keep the skin moist).

- The dermis is the layer that contains tiny blood vessels, hair follicles and nerve endings that detect pain and pressure.

- The epidermis is made up of overlapping dry cells and it's responsible for keeping vital nutrients inside the body, while ensuring that toxic waste is defecated.

As it is briefly stated above, each layer of the skin has a unique function which contributes to keeping you healthy. This means that whether you have sensitive, dry or oily skin, you should carefully select skin care products that enhance your skin's natural functions.

How skin can benefit from exercise

We all know that exercise is good for all our main organs (heart, lungs and brain). What we tend to overlook, however, is the fact that our skin is also a very important body organ.
- By increasing blood flow, exercise helps nourish your skin cells and keep them vital. Blood carries oxygen to all working cells in the body.
- Exercise cleanses your skin from inside. This plays as a good balance for the person who follows great skin care tips when treating the outer layer of their skin.
- Exercise also reduces stress; this improves conditions such as acne and eczema.

The benefits of healthy skin
When your whole body is functioning well, it's inevitable that you'll feel good. Your heart, your stomach, your liver and your skin are all body organs that actively reduce the burden on the immune system as it fights off infections and diseases. Additional responsibility is added on the skin, however, because – as the first line of defence against environmental hazards – it has to also protect the above-mentioned organs so they can perform their duties.

According to dermatologists, maintaining healthy skin is the first step to sustaining a healthy body. First of all the epidermis makes sure that all your water-rich organs don't dry out and die, by blocking out most of the ultraviolet rays that released by the sun. The amazing thing is that the skin barrier can't block out all of the sunlight; because your body needs Vitamin D in order to build healthy bones and teeth.

Healthy skin is resistant to harmful viruses and bacteria. This simply implies that if you take good care of your skin every day, then you'll have less health problems to worry about.

Johannesburg, South Africa -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/29/2013 -- The skin is by far the biggest organ in the human body and is responsible for protecting all the other bodily organs. For this reason it is prone to suffering the most damage from the environment.

However, many of us pay no special attention to our skin unless it is vividly harmed and we want to repair it. But the best method to great skin care is maintaining healthy skin by taking good care of it every day.

For example; if your friend would ask you "what's your star sign?" you would probably give a quick response. And when asked to describe the qualities of people who share that same zodiac sign, you might give a long list of personal traits you think you have.

On the contrary, though, when the question is posed as it is in the headline of this blog – most of us would start scratching our heads.

Is it not important to know your own skin type and how to take care of it so it can be smooth, firm and glowing with health?

Benefits of healthy skin

Ask a dermatologist about skin types and what skin care products you need to use in order to maintain beautiful skin.

-It seals in moisture and locks out infectious agents. Moisturised skin is the best defence that your body has against bacteria and viruses.

-It also absorbs sun radiation. Small amounts of UV are essential in the production of Vitamin D, which has significant functions in the body especially the maintenance of strong healthy bones.

-Well-nourished skin does a better job when it comes to regulating your body temperature. When your body is over-heating, you'll notice that you start sweating (perspiring). This is because your skin is aware that your temperature is rising and, to cool you off, it opens its pores and allows your body some breathing space.

-The skin and the immune system. As we all know, the immune system is what fights off every infection or hazard that our body comes into contact with. The skin on the other hand serves as the first line of defence against foreign proteins (such as viruses and bacteria) serving as an assistant to the immune system.

We also can't forget the fact that we get the sense of touch from our skin. It also gives us an insightful idea of the temperature outside of our bodies (for example, when it's cold you will see goose bumps on the parts of your skin that are exposed to wind).

Johannesburg, South Africa -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/27/2013 -- Understanding the various different skin types will help when choosing a skin care product. Sanex makes a range of skin care products suited to normal, sensitive, dry and oily skin.

Your skin covers the majority of the external surface of your body and is affected by all manner of environmental factors like sun exposure, the degree of humidity in the atmosphere and even diet and sleep. The skin is a truly amazing organ and needs to be protected by the right skin care product. Understanding the difference between the different types of skin will help you make an informed decision as to the skin care product you need for your particular skin type.

Different types of skin
- Normal skin: This is the type of skin we all want. It is well moisturised and balanced.
- Sensitive skin: People who have sensitive skin are more prone to factors that don't affect normal skin. The barrier function of the outer layers of the epidermis is weakened, making it easier to damage.
- Dry skin: This skin type looks dull and lifeless. The fact that it lacks moisture also makes it prone to wrinkles, skin conditions and allergic reactions.
- Oily skin: This happens when your skin produces too much sebum. People who have this skin type always look shiny. However, excess sebum can block pores and lead to pimples.

Most popular skin care products add moist to your skin to prevent it from drying out during the day (not catering to any specific skin types). Using Sanex products, on the other hand, keeps your skin in perfect condition to perform its natural functions. It's advisable to ask dermatologists about any other skin care tips.
