Keratin in the skin protects underlying tissues from microbes, abrasion, heat and chemicals. Lipids released by lamellar granules inhibit evaporation of water from the skin surface, thus protecting the body from dehydration. oily sebum prevents hairs from drying out and contains bactericidal chemicals that kill surface bacteria. The acidic pH of perspiration retards the growth of some microbes. Melanin provides some protection against the damage effects of UV light.
