In the epidermis (the top layer of the skin), there are 5 layers. The bottom layer (The Germinating Layer) has cells that continuously divide by a process know as mitosis. The cells are forced upwards into the next layer (the Prickle Cell Layer), where cells are also constantly dividing. By the time the cells get to the top of that layer, they are dying. The next layer is called the Granular Layer and are slowly forced upwards (although they are dead). Cells go on into the next layer (The Clear Layer) and finally reach the top layer (The Horny Layer) where they are continuously shed. They are then replaced by new ones that have been through the same cycle. The skin is constantly growing new cells and replacing dead ones that are falling off. Hope this helps.
