The integumentary system has a crucial role in the homeostasis of your body. It regulates your body temperature, protects your body from external damage, and prevents invasion of harmful microorganisms.
Sweat is a component of homeostasis, and you can’t expel sweat if this layer is missing. Viruses and germs might readily enter your body if you don’t have skin, hair, or nails. Unwanted pathogens may enter your body if your integumentary system is damaged.
So without your integumentary system you will be strpped off of your 1st line of defense against microbes.
Your integumentary system acts as an anatomical barrier between your body and its surroundings. Because of its large surface area, your skin is constantly exposed to irritants, pollutants, and viruses. .
Thus it is a vital knowledge that one should bring, in order to protect your body and help you become more mindful of your health. You should learn to pamper your skin/integumentary system to avoid any form of damage.
Physiology, Integument – StatPearls – NCBI BookshelfThe integumentary system is the largest organ of the body that forms a physical barrier between the external environment and the internal environment that it serves to protect and maintain. The integumentary system includes the epidermis, dermis, hypodermis, associated glands, hair, and nails. In addition to its barrier function, this system performs many intricate functions such as body temperature regulation, cell fluid maintenance, synthesis of Vitamin D, and detection of stimuli. The various components of this system work in conjunction to carry out these functions—for example, body temperature regulation occurs through thermoreceptors that lead to the adjustment of peripheral blood flow, degree of perspiration, and body hair.

WHO EMRO | Frontline workers and COVID-19: coping with stress | News | Mental healthhttp://www.emro.who.int/mnh/news/frontline-workers-and-covid-19-coping-with-stress.html#:~:text=Exposure%20to%20excessive%20stress%2C%20for,traumatic%20stress%20disorder%20(PTSD).Going to work during this COVID-19 pandemic has placed frontline workers under immense and unprecedented pressure, putting their physical, mental and social wellbeing at risk. Exposure to excessive stress, for prolonged periods can have many harmful consequences on the emotional and mental wellbeing of frontline workers. In the context of COVID-19, this may mean compromised quality and safety of care, breach of protocols and guidelines, increased risk of infections, and compromised capacity of the health system and emergency response teams. While many of the efforts to reduce stress and care for frontline workers must be made by organizations, managers and health administrators, frontline workers can also take actions to cope with stress.
