The thinnest layer of skin is found on the eyelids. The eyelid skin is unique because it has no subcutaneous fat, making it the thinnest layer of skin on the body.
The epidermis, which is the outermost layer of the skin, is divided into five layers. The thickness of the epidermis varies throughout the body, with the thickest skin found on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
However, the epidermis on the eyelids is significantly thinner than in other areas, making it more susceptible to damage and irritation.
