The humanskin is the largest organ of the body. It has the amazing ability to constantly regenerate itself. The skin consists of two main layers, the dermis--deep layer--and the epidermis-Thesurface layer. There are other smaller layers of skin located within these two sections. Specifically, the stratum basale and stratum spinosum layers of the epidermis are responsible for skin regeneration. Skin cells are being born all the time and are rising into the epidermal layers of the skin. Young skin regenerates its surface area every two to three weeks on the epidermal layer.
