Our skin is the biggest organ

Our skin is the body's biggest organ and covers the body from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet.

It keeps the organs safe by keeping germs out and also protects us from rain, wind and sun. When it is hot, sweat comes through our skins to cool us down.

Our skins also make a special oil that keeps water out of our bodies.
