The skin is the body's biggest organ, weighing in at 9 to 15 pounds by the time you're an adult. That's like wearing every single one of your sweaters, winter coats, vests, and jackets all at the same time, and then some. Your skin covers and protects everything inside your body. Without skin, people's muscles, bones, and organs would be hanging out all over the place.
Skin is also the best when it comes to keeping our bodies at the right temperature.
It protects us from getting hurt, lets us feel things, and more. The skin is made up of three layers, each with its own important parts. The epidermis is the part of your skin you can see. Look down at your hands for a minute. At the bottom of the epidermis, there are new skin cells forming.
