The skin helps regulate your body with many things. The hair on your skin will stand up if you are to cold and lay down if you are too hot. You will sweat if you are too hot and your sweat glands will not operate if you are too cold. Your blood vessels will tighten if you are to cold and enlarge if you are too hot.
