Amazing Facts of Skin1. Skin is the largest organ in the body. Skin occupies approximately 1.73 square 

meters to cover our flesh and bones.2. Skin plays an important role in regulating body temperature. Your skin acts as your 

body’s thermostat. When temperatures rise, sweat glands activate to cool the body down.

3. Skin gets its color from a pigment called melanin. Skin color can range from very pale to very dark, depending on how much melanin the body makes.

4. Your skin regenerates itself. Your skin sheds its dead skin cells on a daily basis, creating a new layer of skin every 28 days.

5. Millions of bacteria live on the skin. The skin's surface is home to surprisingly diverse communities of bacteria, collectively known as the skin micro biota.

6. Dust is partly made up of dead skin cells. Dust is an accumulation of many materials, including dirt, animal dander, sand, insect waste, and even dead skin cells.
