An adult skin weighs about three to four kilograms; it is twice as heavy as your liver, it is the next largest organ in your body. The skin would cover around two sq. m. It is about the area of a single bed or a small shower curtain.

1. Skin is your largest organ
This oft-forgotten organ actually makes up 15 percent of your body weight. The average human carries a Dachshund’s worth of skin: roughly 10kg covering two square meters.

2. Skin renews itself every month
This is because the wall of the skin is constantly being supplied with new, living bricks: keratinocytes. These cells are made up of the tough protein keratin, which is unbelievably strong: it also forms our hair and nails.

3. A midnight feast could lead to sunburn
Recent evidence suggests that our skin cells contain complex internal clocks that run on a 24-hour rhythm influenced by the body’s ‘master clock’ in the brain. Overnight, skin cells proliferate rapidly, preparing and protecting our outer barrier for the sunlight and scratches of the coming day. During the day, these cells then selectively switch on genes involved with protection against the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays.

4. Eating colorful vegetables increases the skin’s perceived attractiveness
If you ever needed more motivation to eat your veg, science shows that it makes your skin more attractive. Carotenoids are red, orange, and yellow pigments found in colorful fruit and vegetables, such as carrots, tomatoes, and oranges. Evidence suggests that a diet rich in these foods gives skin an attractive glow, even if it is not clearly noticeable.
