human skin
Our outer layer
Human skin is the outer covering of the human body—the largest organ, serving as barrier, temperature regulator, and sensory surface.
The phrase often emphasizes the body's vulnerability or physicality: The rope burned against human skin.
In discussions of color, human skin encompasses the full range from pale to dark: foundation shades for every human skin tone.
