Human skin protects the entire body from all kinds of environmental influences. Keeping the skin clean is extremely important, because in addition to protection, it performs thermoregulatory, metabolic, immune, secretory, receptor, respiratory and other functions.

To maintain the cleanliness of the skin, and, accordingly, to ensure its full-fledged “work” to protect the body, it is necessary to bathe daily in warm water. Also, keep your hands and nails clean. Dirt from hands containing disease-causing microbes can enter the mouth through food. Dysentery, for example, like many other ailments, is called the “dirty hands” disease. Hands should be washed before and after going to the toilet, before and after eating and after contacts with animals. If you are on the road, then you need to wipe your hands with a damp cloth or use disinfectants or sprays to eliminate at least some of the germs.
