      Hey,

      we have three layers of skin called Skin has three layers epidermis, dermis and hypodermis.
      The epidermis is the outer layer of the skin and provides a protective barrier. The dermis, which is under the epidermis, has connective tissue, hair follicles and glands. The third layer is the hypodermis, which is mainly made of fat and tissue.
