Description

This film aims to raise awareness of the dangers of exposing the skin to harmful (and sometimes not so harmful) substances, the situations in which such exposures occur and what can be done to prevent risks, protect the skin and prevent damage. Napo discovers many different situations in which exposure to chemicals and other substances can cause skin problems. He learns about the amazing qualities of the skin, and strips naked to show the audience: ‘Everything you always wanted to know about ... your skin’. He identifies measures to prevent problems and has three important messages: 'Avoid', 'Protect' and 'Check'.
