new skin
What snakes shed
New skin is a liquid bandage product that dries to form a protective coating over minor cuts and scrapes, sealing the wound without traditional adhesive bandages.
The term has become genericized beyond the brand name to describe any such product: Just put some new skin on it and you'll be fine.
Figuratively, new skin can mean a fresh outer layer or renewed surface—a snake's new skin after molting, or metaphorically, personal transformation: She emerged from the experience with new skin.
