Protect your skin during summer!

Summer is the season of relaxation, but it can be particularly tough for the skin as it is continuously exposed to the sun and the seawater. We all love being on the beach, in the sea and under the sun, but unfortunately these exposures assist the appearance of signs of aging on our skin, not to mention that this is the number one cause of skin cancer.
The role of the skin in our overall health is particularly important as – being a sensory, secretory and excretory body organ – it performs many different functions:

☀It acts as a shield for the body, as it constitutes its first defense, preventing harmful substances from entering our body while it reduces its vulnerability to infections.

☀It protects our body organs from being damaged (e.g. from hits).

☀It regulates body temperature, balancing the heat.

☀It is involved in the synthesis of vitamin D.

☀It prevents the evaporation of water from our tissues, thus it prevents dehydration.
