The human skin cell shedding rate (called the desquamation rate) depends on factors such as the location of the skin being considered, the total area being considered, and the person's age. Even keeping the skin location, skin area, and age constant will result in different rates for different individuals. On average 14,175,000 to 18,900,000 cells per hour or 340,200,000 to 453,600,000 cells per day.
