What is the skin barrier and how you should take care of it in a COVID-19 context?
Skin is the interface between the body and the external environment and one of the main routes through which environmental factors and pathogens penetrate the body. The primary role of the skin is to serve as a barrier, protecting our body from potential assault from microorganisms, toxic substances and other external physical, chemical or organic factors. Providing your skin with enough hydration is key to protect it, especially while wearing a face mask or any type of face covering.
