here's the fact :
1) the amount of skin jacketing an average human adult is actually 2 square meters

2) epidermis is a tough coating formed from overlapping layers of dead skin cells which continually slough off and are replaced with cells from the living layers beneath.

3) freckles are actually deposits of melanin that develop on the skin especially after sun exposure.

4)Surgeons once grafted pigskin onto burn wounds as a temporary bandage. These days they use human skin tissue taken from another part of the body or skin substitutes engineered from synthetics or other materials such as cow collagen or shark cartilage

5) Beyond providing armor, insulation, and air-conditioning, skin has long served as a canvas for cultural expression
