Skin is made up of three layers: the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutis.
The epidermis, the outer layer, includes dead skin cells that are constantly falling away and being replaced.
These help control our body’s temperature by sending a water-rich liquid – sweat – up to the epidermis.
The epidermis may be very easily removed, and is perfectly colorless.
The epidermis, which is thin and shiny, gives way, and the nail is usually shed.
