Skin Structure
The Epidermis
We normally and unconsciously judge someone's health and age by his or her looks, and it’s usually a pretty good indicator. The easiest things to see are weight, fat and skin texture. Then we notice agility and flexibility.
But our skin presents the most visible signs of health and aging.
Skin is the body’s largest organ. It's made up of three layers: the epidermis, the dermis, and the hypodermis.
The epidermis is the thin, protective outer layer of skin. It is made of five distinct sub-layers. About 90% to 95% of the epidermis is made of keratinocytes, a type of skin cell. The epidermis renews itself every month or so, so the body is constantly shedding dead skin cells from this layer. New cells arise from the deepest sub-layer of the epidermis and mature as they move toward the surface.
