Why is it feminine?
Piel (skin) is feminine because it derives from Latin "pellis," which was feminine in gender, and Spanish retained this grammatical gender from its Latin ancestor. This is a common pattern in Spanish where nouns ending in "-el" that come from feminine Latin nouns retain their feminine gender, making "piel" an exception to the typical masculine gender of "-el" endings in Spanish.
