Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III THE CARE OF THE GENERAL HEALTH AS IT ESPECIALLY RELATES TO THE SKIN HYGIENE OF THE SKIN The hygiene of the skin embraces all of those factors which are important in maintaining the bodily health in general. Proper sleep, exercise, fresh air, sunlight, diet, clothing, bathing are all concerned in preserving the health of the skin as in preserving the health of other tissues. Some of these factors, having especial regard to cleanliness, have particularly to do with the health of the skin, while most of them influence the health of the skin only as they affect the general health. Very fortunately many of the canons of right living may be broken without affecting the skin. For the human skin, under ordinary conditions, is a very tolerant tissue. As in other structures of the body, the factor of safety in the skin is very large, and it will, as a rule, endure with little damage insults and stress well beyond proper demandsupon it. It upholds in this respect its excellence as a protective structure; and it vastly more frequently presents a pleasing exterior in the presence of bodily disease than it discloses the existence of disease in some deeper part by failing to preserve its normal appearance. Indeed, it is only in relatively few conditions that it is unable to remain faithful to its purpose of protecting, not only the deep tissues of the body, but its secrets as well. It is, nevertheless, of course, true that the skin is greatly influenced by its treatment and by the condition of the body, and that, while it may maintain itself fairly well under ill- usage or unfavorable conditions of health, the preservation of its freshness and attractiveness is dependent upon proper care and sound health. Exercise, sleep and fresh air are factors in the health of the skin...
