Harmful environmental elements, like chemicals, sunlight and cuts, continuously assault your skin. Skin acts like a sponge because of its tiny openings or pores. Chemicals that penetrate the epidermis can enter your blood stream. The risk of this increases with exposure to heat. Sweating can cause chemicals to dissolve. Exposure to heat increases blood flow in the epidermis and can increase the absorption of harmful substances. Exposure to cold causes microscopic cracking in the skin. Dry, cracked skin allows harmful substance to enter your body.
