All matter is composed of particles, and skin is composed of matter (not vacuum) therefore yes there are particles in the skin.

The skin is made of layers of cells (epidermis, dermis, subdermis)

Each cell is made of organelles (vacuoles, mitochondria, nucleus etc..) engulfed in cytoplasm surrounded by bilipid cell membrane

the cytoplasm is rich in proteins

the cell membrane is made of phospholipid molecules

everything is made of something smaller

until you reach atoms (particles of matter) such as phosphate, oxygen, hydrogen, etc...each atom is made of subparticles (protons and neutrons) and surrounded by subparticles (electrons).

So, yes, there are particles in the skin :D
