Dead Epidermis refers to dead upper skin layers in humans and animals. The skin has two layers, the Epidermis (which is on the very surface) and the much thicker Dermis, which lies below and forms the main body of skin.

This is to keep the skin clean, and get rid of harmful bacteria that get trapped in the Epidermis.
