Explanation

The epidermis is regenerated from stem cells that reside in the basal layer of the epidermis. These stem cells are responsible for producing new cells that migrate to the surface of the skin, where they eventually die and are sloughed off. This process of constant renewal helps to maintain the integrity of the epidermal barrier and ensure that the skin can effectively protect the body from external threats.
