Introduction – Why Skin & Hair Health Matters

Overall well-being depends on good skin and hair health as they serve as a protective barrier, mirror good health, and help to build confidence and self-esteem. Covering the whole outside surface, the skin is the biggest organ of the body since it forms a protective barrier, functions as a sensory organ, and helps to control body temperature and stop water loss. Common skin and hair loss problems include acne, pigmentation, alopecia areata, as well as hair loss brought on by thyroid disorders, infections and some drugs or therapies. Neglecting skin issues can cause serious, long-term consequences including scarring, inflammation, and even chronic diseases, underlining the need of getting prompt medical attention.
