Best Answer

The skin consists of two layers, the inner and thicker dermis, and the outer and thinner epidermis. It takes about 35 days for the epidermis to replace itself. It replaces itself quicker than other parts of the body because it is exposed to the outside world and is constantly being abraded, cut, or scratched.
