Is a layer of dead cells more protective than a layer of new cells?
A layer of new cells is always better than a layer of old and dead cells. If your skin is dead then it wont be protecting you, instead it will spread the necrosis to your inside body parts and ultimately you'll either scar a lot or die. Nothing dead is every helpful to the body (hence why dead cells are always "recycled" and then flushed out of the body).
