My next analogy installment: Why do we refer to it as the skin "barrier"? The skin's role is to help regulate the body and also protect it from the elements. Your brick house works in very much the same way. The bricks are your skin cells, and the mortar is the ceramides (fat) the runs between the skin cells. Your house helps to keep things you consider valuable inside, such as your jewelry, your yorkies  , and your air conditioning, while keeping things you don't want out, such as buglers, dirt, and allergens. The same is true for your skin barrier. It helps to keep your body's valuables in, like water, temperature and nutrients, while keeping things you don't want out, like allergens, microbes and irritants.
Have a great day and chat with you soon

Catherine Lenox and I am very sad that RC snatched her away....happy for her, but sad for my pups. I have one pup who was her client who has lymphangectasia and I give her credit with being a huge part of Cookie's well being since Dec. 2011 when she was diagnosed.
Another great analogy. Perfect!
