SKIN INFORMATION AND FACTS
The skin is your body's largest organ! We generally know
so little about it, especially how to care for our own skin. This is the Body's
protective suit, and essentially takes care of itself. We never even think
about it until we have a problem and then we seek treatment and sometimes we
get "mistreatments".
The skin layer that is visible is the Epidermis. The named
layers of the epidermis include the stratum germinativum, stratum spinosum,
stratum granulosum and stratum corneum. The most outer skin layer is called The
Stratum corneum.
This is what you see, the main barrier and the ultimate
protector for your body. Just by being alive your skin produces new skin cells
underneath the older skin cells. The older skin cells that die stay on the body
until they fall off by themselves or by exfoliation. These older skin cell are
the "DEAD SKIN CELLS".
Most people are concerned about exfoliating their face only,
because it is the skin that everybody sees the most. This is about 5% of the
total skin area. What about the rest of the skin area, the rest of the body?
Exfoliation will help bring out to the surface new healthy
skin cells and take the dead cells away. Healthy skin makes you look and feel better ! 
"The exfoliation of the skin is very popular in this
day and age of personal body care. Exfoliating refreshes and renews the skin by
removing the dead and hardened skin. A natural way to exfoliate the hands and
feet is with a pumice stone and the body with scrubs and loofahs".
ABOUT THE NERVE ENDINGS
The EPIDERMIS has millions of tiny nerve-fibrils right under
the Stratum corneum. These Nerve-Fibrils when massaged with a loofah, scrub or
even with your hands, "release" some kind of trapped energy that
gives the sensation of relaxation and satisfaction.
This is an invigorating sensation that helps you release
that stored energy in those tiny nerve endings.
ABOUT CIRCULATION (THE BLOOD-VASCULAR SYSTEM)
 The blood-vascular system comprises the heart, the arteries,
veins, blood vessels and the capillaries with their contained fluid, the blood.
The passage of the blood through the heart, arteries, veins,
blood vessels and capillaries returning to the heart is called the circulation.
The blood brings oxygen and nutrients to all the human
cells.
ABOUT THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
 The lymphatic system is not really a separate system of the
body. It is considered part of the circulatory system since it consists of
lymph, a moving fluid that comes from the blood and returns to the blood by way
of the lymphatic vessels.
Lymph carries some nutrients around the body, especially
fat. It also distributes germ-fighting white cells.
Lymph resembles plasma, but is more diluted and contains
only about 5% of proteins and 1% of salts and extractives. It is formed from
bits of blood and other body liquids, called interstitial fluid or tissue fluid
that collect in the spaces between cells. Some of the interstitial fluid goes
back into the body through the capillary membrane, but most enters the
lymphatic capillaries to become lymph.
Along with this interstitial fluid, the lymph also picks up
any particles that are too big to be absorbed through the capillary membrane.
These include cell debris, fat globules, and tiny protein particles. The lymph
then moves into the larger lymphatic vessels and through the lymph nodes and
eventually enters the blood through the veins in the neck region.
The lymphatic system is thus a secondary transport system.
Lymph has no pump of its own. Its flow depends on pressure
from the blood system and the massaging effect of the muscles.
Lymphatics are found in nearly every texture and organ of
the body that contains blood vessels. Lymphatic System, common name for the
circulatory vessels or ducts in which the fluid bathing the tissue cells of
vertebrates is collected and carried to join the bloodstream. The lymphatic
system is of primary importance in transporting digested fat from the intestine
to the bloodstream; in removing and destroying toxic substances; and in
resisting the spread of disease throughout the body.
By using this seaweed soap wrapped in a sisal fiber loofah
you are doing many good things to your body and your skin while you are
bathing!!!
While you are bathing with the Algaessage™ Seaweed Soap you
can massage your complete body with the soap using circular motions always
towards the heart. Some of the benefits you will get are:
- You are exfoliating that ugly looking dead and hardened skin
so you bring that healthy new skin that your body is renewing every day. This
way your skin will breathe and will be able to function the way it is supposed
to.
- When bathing, massaging with Algaessage™ Seaweed Soap the
loofah will help you apply an invigorating and relaxing topical massage and
will release all that "trapped" energy in the "Micro Nerve
Endings".
- It is well known that "Topical Massage" helps
increase and stimulate blood circulation. This way the blood will bring more
oxygen and nutrients to all those tiny areas where you are not getting enough
blood. (Especially if you are fat or obese). Working all day sitting down on
your behind does not help at all. The skin and the capillaries on the back of
the legs and the buttocks are not getting the nutrients and oxygen needed for a
good skin tone.
- "Topical Massage" also helps to the increase and
stimulates the Lymphatic System; the Lymphatic system is not directly
"hooked" to the heart and blood circulation. This is "THE OTHER
TRANSPORT SYSTEM" with no "PUMP" of its own. "It depends on
pressure from the blood system and the massaging effect of the muscles". .
. So let's give it some help every day and massage daily all over the body with
nice even gentle circular strokes while bathing.
After all you, have to take a shower every day, so lets help
our largest organ a little for a healthier looking skin and a wonderful
invigorating sensation.
