Your Skin Is Horny: Let's Talk About It
from Derm Clarity: Pore Decisions and Flake News · host Erica Ramos, DMSc, PA-C, CAQ-Derm
We're talking about something slightly spicy. Did you know your skin's horny? Before you panic, I'm talking about the stratum corneum. The outermost layer of your epidermis or your skin literally translated the horny layer. So yes, anatomically speaking, your skin is horny. We're peeling back the layers from the surface down to the subcutaneous fat to understand what each layer does, why it matters, and how knowing this changes how you treat your skin.
