Detailed explanation-1: -Though you can’t see it happening, every minute of the day we lose about 30, 000 to 40, 000 dead skin cells off the surface of our skin. So just in the time it took you to read this far, you’ve probably lost about 40, 000 cells. That’s almost 9 pounds (4 kilograms) of cells every year!

Detailed explanation-2: -Dead skin cells make up the first 18 to 23 layers of your skin. 1 When these dead skin cells don’t slough off as they should, you can be left with symptoms like dull, dry skin.
