Your main sensors in the skin are those for some types of pain or touch. We can distinguish a sharp from a blunt touch, and a brushing with a wisp of cotton wool will elicit a different sensation again. Vibration is a separate touch sensation again, as is also the detection of heat and cold.
Perhaps you could consider smell (olfaction) to be a skin sense, but here the smell is first dissolved in the mucus before detection.
[I had a side effect of a drug, which numbed the sense of vibration - it was only felt as a blunt touch. The operand was a tuning fork, which produces a small vibration at the stem. The proper sensations returned after >12 months off the drug.]
The Dermis layer contains the sensory nerve fiber, so it is the Dermis layer that contains sensory receptors for touch.

More cool receptors than warm receptors in the skin.
sensory receptors - specialized nerve cells
Cutaneous Sensory Receptors are clustered in certain spots instead of being uniformly distributed. This clustering is called punctate distribution.
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
The dermis layer of the skin is composed of thousands of sensory receptors, including touch receptors, temperature receptors, and pain receptors. These receptors help you to feel sensations and respond to your environment.
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
Cutaneous sensory receptors in the skin are part of the somatosensory portion of the nervous system.
The skin takes in information through the sensory receptors. Sensory receptors that are located within the skin are known as nerve endings. Nerve endings take in sensory information related to touch.

The proprioceptors are the sensory receptors and the end of the sensory nerves.
The Dermis layer contains the sensory nerve fiber, so it is the Dermis layer that contains sensory receptors for touch.
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
Pacinian corpuscles are the sensory receptors found in the greatest number in the skin. They are responsible for detecting pressure and vibration stimuli.
they are located just below the skin at two depths
