Dermis – Skin’s Layer

The skin is made up of 3 layers: epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. The dermis is sandwiched between the outermost and innermost layers. It contains blood and lymph vessels, hair follicles and glands. The glands control sweat and the production of sebum. Sweat is the body’s air conditioner. It is how the body vents itself to keep cool. Ever wonder how your body temperature always stays at the same level? It is through the sweating mechanism. Sebum, on the other hand, is natural oil that keeps the skin and hair moist and flexible. When you hair is oily, it is actually a buildup of sebum. People produce different amounts. The pores of the skin are the way sweat and oils reach the skin surface. There are several facial skin issues that deal with the dermis.

• Skin cancer
• Wrinkle therapies
• Skin Hydration

Below The Surface

Skin cancer left untreated will continue to grow and probably go deeper. Once it reaches a certain point, surgery may be required to remove the cancer skin cells. The cancer removal can affect all three layers of the skin, including the dermis. There are three major skin cancer surgical treatments and several non-surgical procedures. Which treatment route is taken is determined through consultation with your doctor after evaluating the stage of cancer.

• Surgical procedures where the cancer is removed by cutting
• Mohs Technique where the cancer is shaved one layer at a time
• Curettage and Electrodessication where the cancer is cut out and then remaining cells are destroyed through a medical procedure
• Cell freezing
• Chemotherapy
• Laser therapy
• Radiation therapy

A Wrinkle In Time

Deep wrinkles begin in the muscles underlying the dermis. There are three classes of wrinkles, ranging from fine lines to folds. Fine lines are the result of an irregular thickening of the dermis. The epidermis is fed moisture by the dermis. When the dermis is not properly formed, moisture is reduced and lines appear. Furrows are deep lines created by repetitive muscle activity. A good example is a furrowed brow. Skin folds reflect collagen loss. There has been an erosion of the elastic fibers. When elastic ceases to be supple, whatever it was holding will fall! Gravity is always waiting for an opportunity to drag our skin down.

All Wet

Keeping skin moist is critical for slowing aging. Pores must be kept clean so that glands in the dermis can do their hydrating job properly. To keep pores clean, the following routine should be religiously followed.

Routine skin care is not time consuming. There are hundreds of good products on the market. But even if you cannot afford what you want, there are numerous recipes for herbal cleansers and exfoliates that you can make at home.

The dermis is the thickest layer of the skin. It plays an important part in our health. When you take care of your skin, don’t just think of the surface. Think deep!
