Do humans shed their skin ?
You may not realize it, but you shed skin everyday, or more accurately, some skin cells are shed from the outer layer of the skin called the epidermis.
These are dead skin cells, and they are replaced by new skin cells . New skin cells are grown in the layer of skin called the dermis , and as they grow , they push their way outwards . In fact , every 30 days , your skin cells are completely replaced .
But, since this is a gradual process , you do not realize that it is happening at all. However, dead skin can be seen in the form of dandruff and skin flakes .
The skin that you shed become a part of the dust floating around you , and when you inhale dust , you also inhale dead human skin cells !!!
