Skin Care at Every Age
The skin is our largest organ and acts as a barrier between us and the outside world. It protects us from infection as part of the body’s immune system, regulates our temperature, assists in the production of vitamin D and enables our sense of touch.
The number one thing that all people can do to promote skin health is to make it a habit to always use sun protection. These measures are best described by SunSmart’s well-known slogan: Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, Slide.
Healthdirect offers the following ABCDE of skin cancer to aid in checking the skin:
- Asymmetry — does each side of the spot or mole look different to the other?
- Border — is it irregular, jagged or spreading?
- Colours — are there several, or is the colour uneven or blotchy?
- Diameter — look for spots that are getting bigger
- Evolution — is the spot or mole changing or growing over time?
A healthy diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as good hydration also go a long way to keeping the skin in good repair. Vitamin deficiencies and missing nutrients can impair the body’s natural ability to heal wounds efficiently, while dehydration can make the skin more fragile and prone to injury.
