There is 1 layer of skin, but the skin itself is made up of 7 different layers on a microscopic level. Each layer has a different function. We normally only talk about the 3 main layers within the skin - the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis is however made up of 5 layers within itself, which gives you the total of 7.


So it is far from the idea that you could peel of 6 layers of your skin and have a good layer underneath the same as you have currently on your body. You'd actually just be left with subcutaneous tissue which would be no good on its own at all.

What are painful red bumps on the face that look like acne but are filled with clear liquid?

It could be a form of Psoriasis or Eczema,(or just problematic skin) that gets activated by stress or high levels of hormones. Also When you say "painful" do you mean it's sensitive to touch? Hurts all the time? Itches? This could help determinate what it is. You see the skin actually has 7 layers Epidermis (with 4 sub-layers), Dermis, and the Succubus, it's not just the skin you see on top. Thus the problem exists beneath the seven layers. You need a product that will (be trans-dermal) penetrate the 7 layers of skin, work from the bottom up to repair the damaged cells,put the moisture back and restore balance to the skin. The skin needs have a product with no added fragrance, parabens (unnatural preservative), dyes and colorants. Also when you have dry skin it usually is accompanied by itching. The reason is because when the skin is dry the skin cells tighten and produce and itching sensation.
