The skin is the body's largest organ (2m2 for 5 kgs at the adult age!!). It has many important roles such as regulating body temperature, maintaining water and sensing all kind of stimuli.
Thanks to his chemicals, the skin represents a barrier against dangerous substances from entering the body and is the first protection again the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun.
Plus texture and skin color make us all diferent as individuals : see this photo of twins.
photo taken from http://www.msnbc.msn.com and translated by me.One was born black, the other one white, of course for a genetic reason, rare though (one in a million case), but in the end although twins are known for their ressemblance, those beautiful babies by their skin appearence look different :-) Interesting case isn't it?
