      Skin is our largest organ and is made up of multiple components such as lipids, proteins, water, minerals and chemicals

      It is usually classified as having three main layers: the epidermis, the dermis and the hypodermic (subcutaneous fat layer)

      The wikipedia article on skin is a really good place to start if you want to learn more 🙂
