But to be able to see somebody's confidence be restored after we've helped them go through whatever it is they're going through, there's no feeling that compares.

Well, it's true.

A thousand percent.

Your skin is your largest organ.

And it is one of the few places, right, where internal health shows up visibly on the outer surface of your skin.

So that is one thing that isn't often taken into consideration.

But your skin is a visible feedback system that is showing you what is going on on the inside, but also not just internally from a physiologic standpoint, but also on the inside up here, mentally, emotionally, from a stress perspective.

Wow.

And that is the first visual trigger that you have when you look at yourself.

So I think one thing that is often so overlooked when it comes to skin health is that mental and emotional impact that comes with it.

And that is something that shouldn't be overlooked.

And skin is not just vanity.

It's not just cosmetic.

It's not just superficial.

It's really a whole person issue.

And I think once you start to shift that perspective, you realize, holy cow, this is my biggest organ.

And yet I put it through the ringer and I don't even care for it.

So it's really something that I find fascinating because it's so visible.

And yet it's an afterthought for so many.

You know what I mean?
