  • Epidermis is the outermost layer of three main skin layers
  • The cells that make up the epidermis, are continually being shed and replaced by newer cells in the lower levels of the epidermis 
What does it do?
  • The primary function of the Epidermis is to protect your skin and keeping harmful things out and keeping the things your body needs to function properly in 
  • Bacteria and viruses should be kept out and water and nutrients should be kept in for the body to use
