Your skin is made of two parts. The epidermis and the dermis.

The epidermis is the top part, the part you see.

The dermis is the bottom part, The part that you cannot see.

The epidermis provides protection from germs and the outside world.

The dermis holds blood vessels, hair, and the glands that produce sweat.

This reaction is called the regenerative Process.
