The Myth:
Your skin cells are replaced every seven years.
The
Truth:
If this were true, we wouldn't age! The truth is that our body's
cells do grow old and die. When this happens, new cells replace the
old cells. Cells live and die on different time tables. For instance,
blood cells live for about 120 days, while skin cells live about 35
days. So our whole body does not regenerate on a seven year time frame,
but new cells replace old cells every day.
