SKIN SCIENCE
Skin is a remarkable organ that protects our body from external threats and keeps our internal system regulated and secure. Across the body, there are two main classes of skin: thin skin and thick skin. Thick skin is found on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, while thin skin is present everywhere else. It's important to note that skin across the body naturally has different thicknesses, and this difference is vital to understanding the variations in its functions and health. In this article, we will discuss the difference between thick and thin skin and their unique characteristics, along with how to bolster each for optimal healthy function. Let's explore these two types of skin in more detail.

In this article, we will discuss the difference between thick and thin skin and their unique characteristics, along with how to bolster each for optimal healthy function. Let's explore these two types of skin in more detail.
01
What is thin skin?
Thin skin is found on most of the body and is made up of only four layers of the epidermis:
- stratum corneum
- stratum granulosum
- stratum spinosum
- stratum basale
The stratum corneum in thin skin is thinner and less tightly packed than in thick skin, allowing for greater flexibility and movement. Thin skin typically ranges from 0.1 to 0.2mm thick. The stratum corneum is much thinner in thin skin than in thick skin, and the skin overall is much more pliable and flexible. Unlike thick skin, there is no stratum lucidum in thin skin.1

02
What is thick skin?
While thin skin is more versatile and responsive to environmental changes, thicker skin is designed to withstand constant pressure and friction. Thick skin is found on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, and it is designed to withstand daily rigors, including walking and handling objects. The epidermis of thick skin can be up to 1.5 mm thick, which is about five times thicker than that of thin skin. The epidermis of thick skin contains an additional layer called the stratum lucidum. In addition to the stratum lucidum, thick skin also has a thicker layer of stratum corneum, which is the layer of dead skin cells that helps to create a water-resistant barrier.1

In addition to the stratum lucidum, thick skin also has a thicker layer of stratum corneum, which is the layer of dead skin cells that helps to create a water-resistant barrier.1
03
Thick skin vs thin skin
The primary differences between thick skin vs thin skin are the thickness of the epidermis, the presence or absence of the stratum lucidum, and the number of sweat glands and hair follicles.One of the most significant differences is in the layers of the epidermis. Thick skin has five layers, while thin skin has four, with the stratum lucidum only being present in thick skin. Another significant difference is the thickness of the stratum corneum. In thick skin, the stratum corneum is much thicker and tightly packed, providing greater protection against external factors. Thin skin, on the other hand, has a thinner and less tightly packed stratum corneum, allowing for greater flexibility and movement.The thickness of the skin also plays a role in the presence of hair follicles and sweat glands. Thick skin has no hair follicles or sebaceous glands and contains fewer sweat glands than thin skin. Thin skin, on the other hand, has hair follicles, and a higher density of sweat or sebaceous glands. The presence of hair follicles and sebaceous glands in thin skin means that it is more prone to acne and other skin conditions.A final key difference between thick and thin skin is the amount of collagen and elastin
fibers in the dermis. The dermis is the layer of skin beneath the epidermis and is responsible for providing support and elasticity to the skin. Thick skin has fewer collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis, making it less flexible than thin skin.1,2
Thin skin, due to its delicate nature, is more susceptible to damage and degradation. It is important to take steps to bolster the health of thin skin, including protecting it from external factors and promoting its thickness.03

Causes of Thin Skin
The thin skin described above is susceptible to further thinning with age. Skin thinning can be caused by multiple factors, including aging, sun damage, genetics, hormonal changes, and other medical or skin conditions. As we age, our skin changes and becomes thinner and loses elasticity due to a decrease in collagen and elastin production. This makes it more fragile and prone to damage from minor trauma. Excessive exposure to UV radiation from the sun can damage the skin's collagen and elastin fibers, causing it to become thin and wrinkled. This is especially apparent in the areas of the body with thin skin, as described above.Genetics also play a role in determining skin thickness, with some individuals genetically predisposed to thinner skin. Hormonal changes, such as those that occur during menopause, can also contribute to thinning of the skin. Medical conditions such as diabetes, certain autoimmune disorders, and long-term use of corticosteroids can also cause thinning of the skin. In addition, certain lifestyle factors such as smoking and poor nutrition can also contribute to thinning of the skin. Understanding the underlying causes of thin skin can help individuals take steps to prevent or manage the skin condition.

How to Make Skin Stronger and Thicker
To promote stronger and thicker skin, it is essential to incorporate healthy skin care practices into your routine. Here are some key tips on how to get skin thicker and healthier:
- Protect your skin from the sun: Exposure to the sun's harmful UV rays can damage your skin's collagen, leading to thinning and sagging skin. To prevent this, make sure you use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day; you should even wear sunscreen in winter on cloudy days.
- Eat a healthy diet: Your skin needs a variety of nutrient absorption to stay healthy, including vitamins A, C, and E, as well as antioxidants and healthy fats. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats like those found in nuts, seeds, and fatty fish.
- Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help keep your skin hydrated and plump, which can improve skin elasticity as well as make it appear thicker and more resilient.
- Avoid smoking: Smoking is known to accelerate skin aging and can lead to thinning skin and wrinkles. Quitting smoking can help slow down the aging process and improve your skin's thickness and texture.
- Exercise regularly: Exercise helps improve blood circulation, which can bring more oxygen and nutrients to your skin, helping to strengthen and thicken it over time.
- Moisturize regularly: Keeping your skin moisturized can help prevent dryness and damage, which can contribute to thinning skin. Look for peptide moisturizers that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides, which can help improve skin hydration and thickness.

Incorporating Scientifically Validated Topical Products
One way to promote thicker and stronger skin is through the use of topical products, especially those with scientifically-validated ingredients. OneSkin's OS-01 peptide has been scientifically proven to increase the thickness of the epidermis in ex vivo
human skin samples. In fact, the thickness of the epidermis in 55-year-old skin samples was increased by up to 28% with OS-01 peptide treatment.4
OS-01 FACE has been clinically validated to improve the skin's barrier function, with an average improvement of +15%.5 Meanwhile, our
peptide body lotion, the OS-01 BODY supplement has been shown to significantly increase the thickness of the epidermis in lab studies conducted on human skin samples.It's important to note that while topical products can be effective in improving the thickness and strength of your skin, they should be used in conjunction with other healthy skin care practices. This includes wearing sunscreen daily, staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.06
