The skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold. Skin has three layers: 1  The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. 2  The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands. 3  The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue.

I know what the honeymoon period feels like, I know what crushes feel like, and I know what steady, committed love feels like.
