Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The outermost layer of the epidermis (stratum corneum) holds in water and keeps your skin hydrated and healthy. Producing new skin cells. New skin cells develop at the bottom layer of your epidermis (stratum basale ) and travel up through the other layers as they get older.
Detailed explanation-2: -The cells in the superficial or upper layers of skin, known as the epidermis, are constantly replacing themselves. This process of renewal is basically exfoliation (shedding) of the epidermis. But the deeper layers of skin, called the dermis, do not go through this cellular turnover and so do not replace themselves.
