The skin is the largest organ of the body, with a total area of about 20 square feet. The skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold. Skin has three layers: 1  The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. 2  The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands. 3  The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue.
Skin is subclassified into two basic types: thin skin and thick skin. Thin skin is the predominant type of skin that covering the human body. It has a relatively thin epidermis and generally contains hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands.
