Did you know your skin is the largest organ that makes up the human body?

The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It covers the entire body, from head to toe, and weighs about 10 pounds. The skin is made up of three layers: the epidermis, the dermis, and the hypodermis.

• The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin. It is made up of dead cells that are constantly being shed.
• The dermis is the middle layer of the skin. It is made up of living cells that produce collagen and elastin, which give the skin its strength and elasticity.
• The hypodermis is the innermost layer of the skin. It is made up of fat cells that help to insulate the body and protect it from injury.
