How does the skin react to the environment?

Answer 1

The skin gathers information about the environment. To understand how the skin does this, place your fingertips on the skin of your arm and press down firmly. Then lightly pinch yourself. You have just tested some of the nerves in your skin. The nerves in skin provide information about such things as pressure, pain & temperature. Pain messages are important because they warn you something in your surroundings may have injured you.

Answer 2

it depends on the type of skin you have, dry skin is worst in cold weather because it works the same way chapped lips work, when wet and then chilled, they come up in scabs.I think that overall dry skin reacts worse to the environment. x
