Skin, an amazing natural barrier to the elements, is susceptible to disease and degradation. At
first glance, we would expect the skin on our faces to be the same as the skin on our bodies. To an
extent it is, as demonstrated by the list below. But there are differences, and due to the differences,
our bodies exhibit unique conditions. This may be why body treatments and body products have
shown continual growth year over year. Additionally, consumers often seek professional treatments
to improve the appearance of their skin. A recent study by Nestle Skin Health revealed that 2 in 3
women are interested in having a cosmetic procedure to improve the appearance of their hands.
