Explanation:
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: -The epidermis does not contain blood vessels; instead, cells in the deepest layers are nourished by diffusion from blood capillaries that are present in the upper layers of the dermis.
