About the “regrowth of skin cells”

Our bodies are made up of about 60 trillion cells and our skin is also a collection of cells. In the deeper part of the skin, new skin cells are constantly regenerated. The regenerated skin cells are pushed gradually towards the outermost surface of the skin and then finally peel off. This is how skin cells are constantly renewed.
The cells consist mainly of proteins, lipids, and water. A sufficient supply of nutrients and vitamins, which are the sources of proteins and lipids, is required for the skin cells to regenerate.
Vitamin B2 is involved in the metabolism of lipids and vitamin B6 is involved in the metabolism of proteins; both vitamins are important for the renewal of cells.
