The skin helps warm us up primarily through the process of vasoconstriction, where blood vessels narrow to reduce blood flow to the skin, conserving heat. When the body recognizes a drop in temperature, it also activates muscles to shiver, generating heat through muscle contractions. Additionally, the skin can retain heat by trapping air in its outer layers, providing an insulating effect. These mechanisms work together to maintain the body's core temperature.
