The skin has specialized sensors that are imbeded into it such as:

Hair follicle endings: responds to hair displacement

ruffini endings: responding to pressure on the skin

krause corpuscle: responding to pressure on the lips or tongue

Pacinian corpuscle: which responds to vibration in deep layers of dermis

Messiner corpuscle: which responds to vibration in the dermis of glabrous skin

or free nerve endings: which respond to mechhanical thermal or noxious stimulaiton

all of these receptors pick up things from the environment and send them to the brain for perception and identification.
