The Importance of Skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s an expression, \u201cBeauty is only skin deep.\u201d While it is important to realize that appearances, both physical and intellectual, are not necessarily meaningful or accurate, it is possible to think that skin itself is unimportant, which could not be further from the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Functions and Benefits of Skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On a superficial level – skin deep, you might say – skin is just a covering for the body. But in truth, it\u2019s so much more. It protects the body from infection and contamination by outside forces. It provides a place for hair to grow and sweat to escape. The skin\u2019s layers serve as a waterproof barrier to the outside world, and provide nerve receptors and the sense of touch which provides our brains with so much important data, like pain, heat, contact and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Resilience and Adaptability of Skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the epidermis, the outer layer of skin, made up of dead skin cells, is cut, germs can get inside and cause disease. But the epidermis is pretty tough, and can stand up to all sorts of punishment, from washing dishes to swinging a baseball bat, to hitting a computer keyboard thousands of times a day. Not only that, but the skin is reactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u2019 Avigdor Miller z\u201dl <\/a>would point out that not only is the skin durable, but it can even get stronger. Hands used for swinging a hammer or axe, for example, may become calloused. The thickening of the skin is how Hashem made the body adapt to its purpose and use. Those hardened and thickened areas of skin protect the body during repeated stress. Imagine a tool that got stronger and better each time you used it. That would be incredible, but Hashem designed us in just that way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protection Through Callouses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might get callouses from walking, and that\u2019s also to protect you. The skin works to ensure you remain safe and whole. People who walk barefoot develop thicker skin on the soles of their feet and this protects them from cuts and scrapes from any debris that might be on the road. It\u2019s pretty incredible when you think about it, but we hardly ever do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skin\u2019s Cleaning and Healing Abilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If while cooking, oil splatters on your shirt, you\u2019ve got to send it to the cleaners because otherwise it will stain. But if it splatters on your hand, you\u2019ll feel the heat, which is a warning to be careful, but you can easily wash your hands and get rid of it. Even if your hands get stained from various items, they aren\u2019t ruined permanently. Scrubbing will help, and eventually new skin will grow and the stains will be gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sensitivity and Versatility of Skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The sensitivity of your skin far surpasses many other testing means, and you can measure a myriad of things from texture and contour, to weight and balance, to heat and cold. When it comes down to it, skin is pretty miraculous and not to be underestimated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being Comfortable in Your Own Skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s another expression. It\u2019s, \u201cbeing comfortable in your own skin.\u201d That means not being ashamed of who you are. Just as a person with freckles shouldn\u2019t apologize for them, or feel bad, we have to realize that who we are, meaning our abilities, thought processes, and experiences, are \u2013 very much like our skin \u2013 custom-made for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developing Emotional Resilience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hashem instills in each of us innate understanding, and then complements it with life lessons and experiences that help us grow. Sometimes we need our skin to be a little thicker. When dealing with our spouses, for example, it\u2019s easy to get hurt if they say something they shouldn\u2019t. But since we understand that Hashem put us in this situation, it\u2019s time to get a bit thicker-skinned and not be hurt by those words. If they are a criticism, we ought to consider whether they are accurate, and seek to change for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A person who fundraises for an organization is another type who might need a thicker skin, to handle the rejection that inevitably comes their way. At the same time, they retain the sensitivity for those they are helping, thereby using that same \u201cskin\u201d to complete their mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Custom-Made for Our Purpose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each of us has a \u201cskin\u201d that suits us perfectly. It provides coverage and protection for all the tasks we are meant to do, and gives us the tactile ability to handle them. It also adapts, as we become sensitive to issues through our thoughts and life experiences, and of course, through our study of Torah and trying to understand Hashem\u2019s will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identifying Our Mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If we look at the skills and abilities we have, as well as the sensibilities we\u2019ve developed, we can get a better appreciation of how our own personal skin is perfectly suited to everything we need to do in life. Not only that, but we can use it to identify our mission. If we are able to communicate well with those who are sad, our job is likely to listen and try to cheer them up. If we feel strongly about certain mitzvos, we just may be that way because they need a champion who can help the world observe them better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just know that who you are and how you think is greatly influenced by Hashem\u2019s plan, so focus on the wisdom He places in each of us and find the right ways to be comfortable in your own skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
