If the skin surface is damaged, not only bacteria, viruses and other pathogens will not be blocked but will drive forward and make people sick, but also because the skin surface defense is weakened, the channel on the body’s skin surface will be opened and allergens will easily enter, which will induce allergic diseases such as allergic skin diseases and affect the functions of hands and feet.
