Detailed explanation-1: -New skin cells develop at the bottom layer of your epidermis (stratum basale ) and travel up through the other layers as they get older. They reach the outermost layer of your epidermis after about a month, where the skin cells shed from your body as new cells develop at the bottom layer.
Detailed explanation-2: -When we are adults many cells mature and become specialised for their particular job in the body. So they don’t make copies of themselves (reproduce) so often. But some cells, such as skin cells or blood cells are dividing all the time. When cells become damaged or die the body makes new cells to replace them.
Detailed explanation-3: -The epidermis: Acts as a protective barrier: The epidermis keeps bacteria and germs from entering your body and bloodstream and causing infections. It also protects against rain, sun and other elements. Makes new skin: The epidermis continually makes new skin cells.
