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.
