Sebaceous Gland Responsible for secreting sebum,

which helps protect the skin from external aggressors,

keep it pliable, and prevent it from getting dehydrated.

Outside Aggressors UV rays

and pollutants are just a few of

the aggressors your skin has to

deal with!

Stratum Corneum (fondly referred to—by us,

anyway—as the SC): The phrase is Latin for

“horny layer” (teehee), and the SC mostly consists

of dead keratinocytes called corneocytes. This is

the outermost layer of the epidermis.

Hair Follicle Just what it

sounds like! Where those

hairs sprout from.
