      Once a skin cell is dead it cannot be brought back to life, but new skin cells are constantly being made and replacing these dead ones

      Dead skins cells sit on the skin for a little while and then fall off by themselves. You can see this if you have dandruff… that’s what dandruff is, its dead skin cells that are coming off your scalp. These dead skin cells are then replaced by new skin cells. If dead skin cells didn’t fall off by themselves, we’d keep getting more skin layered on more skin until we were round as a ball.

      Eating a lot of fruits and vegetables, meat and milk will keep your body rich in vitamins and protein which are essential for your body to replenish new skin cells.
