That depends on how you define layers. You have two main layers to the integument or skin, the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis itself is divided into four or five layers (or strata), depending on where in the body it is found.

Humans have 3 major skin layers:

1. The epidermis is the outermost covering of the skin and it provides a weatherproof barrier.

2. The dermis is below the epidermis and it cushions the body from stress and strain.

3. The Hypodermis is below the dermis and is responsible for connected muscle tissue, bone, and skin.

However, the first layer (the epidermis) has five layers, so that brings the total up to seven.

I believe that it is much thicker than the skin on your body. Same with your foot. Pinch the skin on your foot and see the difference between the skin on your foot and the skin on your arm.
