What is the weight of the human skin?

This is one of the many million questions my dermatalology prof had asked me which I was unable to answer, one thing I do know that it is heavier then the liver (ie., more than 1.5 Kg).

The skin of a human adult weighs about nine pounds
Reply:The skin is the largest organ of the body - the weight of it will depend on the size of the human you are talking about.
Reply:It is 15% of total body weight roughly.
