Dead skin

Our Skin


The human skin is a complex organ. It consists of several layers, which are involved in a range of functions, from defense against external pathogens to temperature regulation. The skin is the largest organ of the human body and renews itself every 28 - 30 days.
The structure of the skin is basically divided into two general layers, the dermis (link to previous article) and the epidermis. The latter is divided further into 5 layers. The layer at the very surface of the skin is called the Stratum corneum, which consists mainly of dead skin cells.

Dead Skin
Dead skin has a way of making skin look dull and lacking in luster. It is so important to shed or slough away dead skin that show themselves in the form of awful looking cells of the skin that are dying.
The body sheds these dead skin cells of it's own accord, however, exfoliation through the use of skin brushes, luffah's or exfoliant skin care products, helps to stimulate new cell growth and reduces build up of dead skin cells.
Under normal circumstances, every minute of the day we lose about 30,000 to 40,000 dead skin cells off the surface of our skin - that's about 4 kilograms per year of dead skin cells. In fact, much of the dust in a house is to a great extent comprised of our dead skin cells.
