The skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold. Skin has three layers: 1  The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. 2  The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands. 3  The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue.
The honeymoon period tends to last anywhere between 6 months and a year.

Your period occurs when the lining of your uterus sheds. In order for your normal period to come each month, your body has to ovulate, which means an egg must be released from an ovary. Typically, your period will come about 12 to 16 days after you ovulate, assuming you did not get pregnant. What Is Normal Menstruation? Normal menstruation can last from one to seven days, although for most women with regular menstrual cycles, their period lasts an average of three to five days. It's important to note that nothing is wrong if your period is a couple days longer or shorter than the average three to five days. In other words, your period is unique to you, and the amount you bleed and the number of days will not be the same as everyone else. In addition, your period can vary a bit from cycle to cycle and this is normal.
