    process by which skin forms and matures from embryonic stages

    Skin development refers to the process by which the skin forms and matures from embryonic stages through to adulthood. This involves the differentiation of various cell types, such as keratinocytes, melanocytes, and fibroblasts, and the formation of distinct layers like the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. Proper skin development is crucial for creating a functional barrier that protects the body from environmental hazards and regulates temperature and hydration.
