In general, the structure of the skin is composed of three layers such as the epidermis, the dermis and the subcutaneous layer from the outside. The epidermis is located at the outermost part of the skin, preventing foreign matter from penetrating into the body and preventing evaporation of water in the body. It has an average thickness of about 1.1 mm though it varies depending on the body part. The dermis contains collagen fibers, collagen fibers and elastin, which maintain elasticity of the skin. The dermis has an average thickness of about 2 mm. When the dermis is damaged by ultraviolet rays, it causes problems such as wrinkles of the skin.

The subcutaneous tissue is a layer between the dermis and the muscle and the skeleton. It is a layer in which the fibers descending from the dermis are tightly bonded. The thickness of the subcutaneous tissue differs depending on the region and shows a great difference depending on sex and age.

One of the most important roles of the epidermis in such skin structure is moisture regulation. Among stratum corneum layers, the stratum corneum suppresses the loss of water and electrolytes through the skin, so that the skin can maintain its normal biological function Provides the environment, and plays a role in preventing the harmful factors from the external environment when they penetrate through the skin.
