Skin cells primarily **have terminally differentiated.**
While skin cells can become quiescent or senescent under certain conditions, the key characteristic of skin cells, especially keratinocytes, is that they are terminally differentiated, meaning they have specialized functions and do not divide anymore. However, skin also contains stem cells that can give rise to new skin cells, primarily located in the basal layer of the epidermis.
