The skin is the body’s largest organ! Web MD measures the skin at approximately 20 square feet. It maintains the function of protecting us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat and cold. The skin is comprised of three layers:

• The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, which provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone.
• The dermis, which lies beneath the epidermis, and contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands.
• The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis), which is made of fat and connective tissue.

The skin is the only organ that is visible and is an outward projection of our overall health and wellness. When someone takes care of their skin by maintaining a proper diet, staying hydrated and avoiding over exposure to UV light, it clearly shows. To achieve a beautiful complexion, it’s important to get at least 8 hours of sleep each night, drink plenty of water and eat foods that are rich in Omega-3 and Vitamin C. Furthermore, it’s essential to maintain a skin care regime that includes cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing daily. Planet Beach offers a holistic approach to skin care with their exclusive FACE & BODY line, which are PH balanced for varying skin types, and are packed with all natural ingredients that revitalize and rebuild skin tissue at the cellular level.

Although everyone has their personal favorites from the line, my top pick is the Energize Moisturizer, which smells like orange cream sickle. It contains Ester-C, an exclusive form of Vitamin C that helps stimulate the formation of essential collagen and elastin. It’s unique skin penetrating properties and citrus scent helps to revitalize the skin and senses. This moisturizer should be applied each morning for a fresh beautiful glow.

Planet Beach has an array of products and services that will help you achieve your ultimate beauty and wellness goals. If having a glowing complexion from head to toe is at the top of your beauty priority list, Planet Beach has you covered.
