SKIN FACTS
Skin has two layers: the epidermis on top and the dermis below. The epidermis keeps producing new cells that push to the top of the skin surface.

Nerve cells in skin make it sensitive to touch, pressure, and temperature.

Help protect your skin from the sun on cloudy days since the sun’s rays can penetrate light clouds, mist, and fog.
