ESSENTIAL OILS AND SKIN CARE
By Kristy R. West, RN, MA
YOUR SKIN
• Considered the largest organ in the human body.
• Made up of three major layers - epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (also called the subcutaneous tissue).
• Protects your inside organs while keeping infections out and prevents you from getting sick.
• Lose about 30,000 to 50,000 dead skin cells almost every minute
YOUR SKIN
• Sheds a layer of these dead cells every 24 hours and renews itself about every 28 days.
• Swells when it absorbs water.
• Contains a protein called keratin which is also found in hair and nails
• Is the thinnest on the eyelid. • Goose bumps are actually
little pimples that help retain a layer of warm air over our body.
YOUR SKIN• Average adult’s skin spans 21 square feet, weighs nine
pounds, and contains more than 11 miles of blood vessels.
• Releases as much as three gallons of sweat a day in hot weather.
