2 The skin and its structure<br />
2.1 The skin structure<br />
The human skin is the largest organ of our body. It consists of three layers: the epidermis (or<br />
cuticle), the derma (or corium), and the subcutis (or hypodermis).<br />
The skin has to fulfil a great number of tasks. A very interesting composition of the skin is<br />
necessary in order to fulfil these numerous tasks.<br />

2.2 The cornea layer<br />
The cornea layer (stratum corneum) plays an<br />
especially important part in the subject of “protection<br />
of the skin“. As the outermost layer of the epidermis,<br />
the cornea forms a sort of barrier stage in the skin. It<br />
is comparable to a wall made of bricks stuck together<br />
with mortar. This “wall” must be kept in perfect<br />
condition so that it can perform its protective<br />
function.<br />
