Humans shed their skin every 25-45 days and we have a brand NEW layer of skin. Yes, it's true! Starting in our stratum basale, new cells replace old cells (through continuous mitosis) and push old skin cells, which are being karatinized, up to the free surface of our skin. When the old skin cells reach the top, they are dead, and they flake off without us even noticing half the time, (unless our skin is really dry then we notice) But yes, every 25-45 days you could have a brand new epidermis!
Well kind of. I mean we don't shed ALL of our skin like a snake. But we do loose dead skin every once in a while.
