The Skin's Subcutaneous Layer Askam-in-Furness
The Subcutaneous layer, which is made up of subcutaneous tissue, is the deepest layer of the skin and consists mainly of fat cells known as adipose. These fat cells act as shock absorbers and protect the body from mechanical trauma. They also work as heat insulators and help to keep body temperatures stable.

Subcutaneous Layer The Subcutaneous layer, which is made up of subcutaneous tissue, is the deepest layer of the skin and consists mainly of fat cells known as adipose. These fat cells act as shock absorbers and protect the body from mechanical trauma. They also work as heat insulators and help to keep body temperatures stable. The loss of this layer causes facial sagging and the formation of the deep wrinkles especially associated with old age. An over developed subcutaneous layer leads to obesity but on the other end of the scale, wasting of the subcutaneous layer will cause skin wrinkling, sagging and premature aging. You need your skin to be padded with sufficient fat pads in the subcutaneous layer to keep it plumped up and young looking.

Natural Face Masks Askam-in-Furness
A facial mask is generally defined as a substance that is applied to the face, much like smearing on cream. It is thick, and frequently resembles clay. Many masks make use of clay or gel as a base, as these will stay in place when applied, and they are generally harmless to most skin types (although gel is used most for sensitive skin, as heavy clays irritate it).
