The skin, the largest organ of the human body, plays a crucial role not only in protection but also in absorption. Everything we apply to it—whether nourishing or harmful—has the potential to be absorbed into our system. One renowned author poetically describes the skin as having "little mouths," noting:

 

“The little mouths in the skin, through which the body breathes, become clogged, thus making it impossible to eliminate impurities through that channel.”

 

As one of the body’s primary channels of elimination, the skin plays a vital role in detoxification. When this channel is blocked or impaired, the burden is shifted to other organs, potentially leading to systemic imbalances. It is for this reason that we must be discerning about the substances we apply to our skin.

Moreover, the skin often acts as a mirror—reflecting the internal state of our health. It reveals a complex and intricate story about what is occurring beneath the surface.

My personal journey with skin health began in adolescence. As a teenager struggling with acne vulgaris, I sought help from numerous dermatologists and medical professionals. I was prescribed a wide range of treatments, from hormonal medications to broad-spectrum antibiotics, topical creams, and oral pills. Yet, throughout all those years of pharmaceutical interventions, one critical factor was consistently overlooked: the role of diet, lifestyle, and truly skin-friendly skincare.

 

This realization marked the beginning of a long journey—one driven by a desire to understand the human body more deeply, to identify the ideal internal nourishment it needs, and to discover skincare ingredients that genuinely support healing, vitality, and restoration.

I’ve come to understand that healthy, radiant skin is not achieved through external treatments alone. It is the result of a harmonious relationship between what we put into our bodies and what we apply onto our skin.

The human body is an extraordinary system—innately capable of healing itself physically, mentally, and emotionally when given the right conditions.
