In daily life, do you often hear such conversations:

"You are so shameless", "Your face is thicker than the city wall"...

In fact, this is not nonsense.

A study found that boys are thicker-skinned than girls!

Let’s take a look at what is going on.

It turns out that it’s true that boys are thicker-skinned than girls.

The skin of your face is made up of the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis is 0.1-0.3 mm thick, the dermis is between 0.3-2 mm, and the thickness of the subcutaneous tissue is determined by your weight.

Due to the different hormone levels between boys and girls, boys' dermis naturally contains more water, matrix and elastic fibers than girls. In addition, boys' skin produces more sebaceous gland secretions and does not excessively cleanse with bottles and jars every day. These are the reasons why boys are thicker-skinned than girls.

Now, do you all understand? So, sisters who are already thin-skinned, don’t mess with your face, or you’ll get thinner!
