Dead skin cells are called keratin and are usually packed on the palms of our hands and the soles of our feet. They usually stay there and sometimes flake off. There is keratin on skin in general, and they just fall and is rubbed away. Unless you scrub off the keratin, it remains on the surface of our skin (epidermis).
