Answer:

2 weeks to a month

Step-by-step explanation:

when new skin cells are made, they move from the bottom of the epidermis to the top of the epidermis. This takes about 2 weeks to a month. As the new cells move up, old cells near the top die and rise to the surface of the skin.

The dead cells are what we see on our skin every day.
