sluffing

Sloughing is a natural skin process where the outermost dead skin cells shed and are replaced by new ones. This continuous cycle helps maintain healthy skin by removing the old, dying cells. It can also refer to the peeling or shedding of skin tissue in other contexts, such as wounds or certain medical conditions, where layers of tissue detach or break away. In general, sloughing indicates the body's process of renewal or healing, ensuring that fresh, healthy tissue or skin replaces the older, worn-out layers.
