How is your immune system connected to your skin?
Your immune system is the key component in keeping your body protected from infections and viruses. It works to defend against harmful bacteria and pathogens. The skin is part of this process. It acts as the primary defence mechanism. It is a physical barrier between your bloodstream and harmful foreign particles. A variety of cells work together to mount functional immune responses. Together they battle inflammatory processes, and boost immunity against infections, and allergies.
What happens if your immune system is weak?
If your immune system is weak, your skin is one of the first places you will see the impacts. It becomes more vulnerable to inflammation and hypersensitivity. You may:
- Become prone to bacterial infections
- Break out more often
- Find your skin healing slower
How to boost your skin immune system?
