Detailed explanation-1: -The bottom layer is the hypodermis. It contains fat cells, or adipose tissue, that insulate the body and help conserve heat. Between the epidermis and hypodermis is the dermis.
Detailed explanation-2: -The hypodermis is the innermost layer of the skin. It stores fat and energy, pads and protects the body, attaches skin to the bones and muscle, and is very important in maintaining body temperature. This layer of the skin thins with age, increasing the risk for hypothermia or heat exhaustion.
Detailed explanation-3: -The dermis exists between the epidermis and the hypodermis. While the epidermis is the thinnest layer of skin, the dermis is the thickest layer of skin. The dermis contains collagen and elastin, which help make it so thick and supportive of your skin’s overall structure.
