INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

The skin is the outermost organ which is the first protector for the human
body, so if something happens to the limbs that are first affected it is the
skin. The skin is also one of the supports of human life, namely as the
sense of touch and appearance in everyday life. In humans, the skin can be
attacked by various diseases, from minor illnesses to serious illnesses that
lead to human death. Some of the causes of skin disease include: through a
dirty environment, through animals, body hygiene, natural disasters, skin-
to-skin interaction. Therefore it is very important to maintain its condition
or existence (Bumi, 2010). In everyday life, a person often visits an expert
or doctor when experiencing skin disorders. However, sometimes an
expert or doctor also has weaknesses, namely limited working practice
hours, many patients waiting in line, having a remote place to live, or the
age factor that affects memory and stamina at work. So that one day an
expert or doctor can be wrong in diagnosing a skin disease and even
provide the wrong solution for the patient. So with the advancement of the

 DISCUSSION

2.1 Definition

Human skin is the outer layer of the body in humans. It is the largest organ of the
covering body system. The skin has several layers of ectodermal tissue and covers
the underlying muscles, bones, ligaments and internal organs. The skin plays an
important role in protecting the body against pathogens and excessive water loss.
Because it interfaces with the environment, the skin plays an important role in
protecting the body against pathogens and excessive water loss. Its other functions
are insulation, temperature regulation, sensation, synthesis of vitamin D, and
protection of vitamin B folates. Severely damaged skin will try to heal by forming
scar tissue. This causes the skin to change color and depigmentation frequently. In
humans, skin pigmentation varies between populations, and skin type can range
from dry to oily. Such shell variations provide a rich and diverse habitat for some
bacteria which are approximately 1000 species from 19 phyla.

2.2 How to Maintain Healthy Skin

How to Care for and Maintain Skin Health

How to? Here I will give tips on caring for healthy skin to keep it bright
and healthy.
A. Drink lots of water
Water is a natural resource that can provide millions of benefits for living
things. One of the most prominent benefits is maintaining healthy skin. By
drinking water, you will avoid skin stress. Besides being able to avoid
stress on the skin, water can also prevent you from wrinkled skin. The
minimum amount of water you should consume per day is 8 glasses. How
to drink was not the origin of the drink. You have to take it little by little
so that it lasts longer in the body.
B. Get enough sleep
The second way to maintain healthy skin is to set bedtime properly.
According to research, someone who lacks sleep will have dull skin,
wrinkles quickly and skin color becomes uneven. Therefore, for those of
you who want healthy and supple skin, you must set a bedtime. The
standard sleep time in a 24 hour period is 7 hours. Within 7 hours, the skin
will regenerate so you will look fresher the next day.

4
 In addition to maintaining rest periods, you can also maintain healthy skin
by avoiding direct sunlight. Direct sunlight will make your skin dull and
dry. For that, you should wear a jacket or sweater when leaving the house.
C. Avoid Foods Containing Sugar
The next step for maintaining healthy skin is to avoid foods that contain
lots of sugar. According to research, foods that are too high in sugar will
cause collagen and elastin to suffer damage. If so, your skin will become
wrinkled and become loose. That's why limit consumption of sugar to keep
skin fresh and healthy. Replace foods that contain lots of sugar with fruits
and vegetables. You need to do this because fruits and vegetables are food
sources that contain vitamins and minerals which are very good for skin
health.
D. Perform Routine Maintenance
Air pollution makes your skin dry and dull. That's why you need to cleanse
your skin to keep it looking clean and fresh. Wash your face at least 3
times a day. This is important because air pollution is one of the causes of
acne. For that, diligently wash your face and shower 2 times a day.
E. Using Natural Masks
To prevent facial skin from acne, use a young corn mask. To avoid a dull
face, use a cucumber mask and to avoid acne scars, you can use a lime
mask

2.3 The Inportance of Maintaining Healthy Skin Months

Who doesn't want to have beautiful and pleasing facial and body skin? Everyone
definitely wants it. You won't have beautiful and beautiful skin if you don't take
care of it regularly and don't understand how to take good care of your skin. It's
useless for you to strive for white facial skin but it's not healthy and well
groomed. Likewise if you have white skin but it looks dull and diseased because
you are not consistent in caring for it. Once again remember that the skin is the
outermost member of our body and is in direct contact with the environment. So
we need to protect its condition from environmental hazards such as pollution, air,
sunlight, vehicle fumes, chemicals and much more. Clean and Healthy Living
Behavior (PHBS) is very necessary in improving the quality of one's health. One
of the PHBS actions is to maintain skin cleanliness and health. Some diseases that
can occur due to lack of skin hygiene such as bacterial, parasitic, viral or fungal

5
infections can reduce the sufferer's quality of life. Healthy skin is indeed very
important in the health of the body. Therefore, before the skin becomes dull,
withered and wrinkled, do prevention and treatment to protect and maintain
healthy skin right now

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 conclusion

Human skin is the outer layer of the body in humans. It is the largest organ of the
covering body system. The skin has several layers of ectodermal tissue and covers
the underlying muscles, bones, ligaments and internal organs. The skin plays an
important role in protecting the body against pathogens and excessive water loss.
Everyone wants healthy skin, so we have to take care of our skin by drinking lots
of water, getting enough sleep, avoiding foods containing sugar, oil, and doing
skin care. Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is very necessary in
improving the quality of one's health. One of the PHBS actions is to maintain skin
cleanliness and health. If we don't take care of skin health, some diseases that can
occur due to lack of skin hygiene such as bacterial, parasitic, viral or fungal
infections can reduce the quality of life of sufferers. In dealing with skin diseases,
the community uses traditional medicine by utilizing plants that are around them,
such as: tamarind, ginger, guava, turmeric, coconut, frangipani, black amethyst.
So before the skin becomes dull, wilted and wrinkled, get sick, do prevention and
treatment to protect and maintain healthy skin from now on.

3.2 suggestion
We recommend that before starting to use the services of a beauty clinic to take
care of yourself, consider deeply, what are the negative impacts and positive dam
that will be generated. if the skin problem is not too severe it is better to be treated
naturally first, rather than having to go straight to the doctor. Even if it takes a
long time, do it Natural treatments tend not to have side effects Harm
