Interesting Skin Facts

Skin cut into a profile of layers

I love my skin and I hope you love yours too! It keeps us put together in a beautiful package, protects our skeletal system and organs, and is one of our first defense systems. If you think about it, it’s really one of the first things that people see when they look at you. If you are like me and interested in facts that may come up in a handy in a game of trivia or impress someone in a conversation, then here are some really interesting skin facts about your skin.

Here are 15 interesting skin facts:

  1. The skin is the bodies largest organ
  2. A square inch of the human body has approximately 19,000,000 skin cells and up to 300 sweat glands
  3. The thinnest skin on the body is around the eye and the eyelid (approx. .002mm thick), the thickest part of skin is on the soles of your feet (approx. 1.4mm thick)
  4. The skin contains a pigment known as melanin. The darker skin has more melanin, less melanin makes it lighter.
  5. There are at least five types of receptors in the skin that respond to pain and to touch
  6. Your skin helps to regulate body temperature if you have goose bumps, they are little bumps that helps keep a layer of warm air over your body
