Actually skin is the largest organ of our body where average adult weight 8-10 pounds (around 4KG) and average and area of about 22 square feet (2.04 square meters). It is also one of the 7 channels (liver, kidney and intestines) of elimination and gets rid of waste buildup. It contains about 70% water, 25% protein and 2% lipids.

There are 5 main functions of the skin. It acts as a mechanical barrier of infections. It ultimately prevents microorganisms and other substances from entering the body. Second, it excretes waste and excess salt from the body through the sweat. This water loss through sweating occurs is also a function of the skin to regulate body temperature. Evaporation of sweat in the skin will cool down when exposed to too much heat. Besides that, skin synthesizes Vitamin D which needed for the absorption of calcium and phosphate in the presence of sunlight and ultra violet (UV) radiation. Finally, the skin also provides the sensation to outside environment such as temperature, pressure, touch, stretch, pain of sense.
