Skin Care Information: Skin Basics (or Skin 101)
This Skin Care Information page covers the basics. It links you to short but informative articles about the structure and function of skin, beauty secrets, and aging skin information. You won't have enough knowledge to earn a degree in dermatology when you are done, but you will certainly know more than most people. These articles will help you gain a better understanding of how the skin treatments and skin care products you will read about elsewhere on this site actually work. After all, this is science, not magic. There are explanations for how treatments work, and reasons that some treatments don't work. And it has to do with how these treatments interact with your skin (the science of your skin). A bit of knowledge about the science of skin will help you to read between the lines of some of the claims made by the manufacturers and providers of skin care products and treatments. This knowledge will remove some confusion and help you to decide when to be skeptical.
