Skin temperature is essentially the heat at the outermost layer of your body, which is usually lower than your core temperature (the classic 98.6°F). For most healthy adults, skin temperature falls between 92.3°F and 98.4°F (or 33°C to 37°C). But it’s not constant—it changes depending on various factors like your environment, activity levels, and even the time of day. This variation can give us meaningful insights into our overall well-being.

Let’s break down what it is, why it’s so essential, and how wearable tech can help you keep it running smoothly.
