Why Do People Have Different Kinds of Skin?

Everyone has different kinds of skin because it's like having different colors of paint. Some people have light, smooth paint (like a white wall), and others have darker or rougher paint (like a bumpy brick wall). This is decided by the family you come from and where you live.
