Ultraviolet light is dangerous as it could damage the skin. The skin will react by producing a dark granule called melanin which will absorb the light. Melanin is produced by the melanocyte in the epidermis. This will make the skin looks darker, especially people that frequently exposed to light.

The sweat glands will produce sweat and sent it to the epidermis. This will make the epidermis wet. If the humidity is low, the water in epidermis will be evaporated and taking heat from the skin.
When the temperature is too high, the blood vessel in dermis part of the skin will dilate to make the body lose heat more.

When camping, you might need to interact with the wild plant directly. The epidermis is made of keratinized squamous cell that could protect the skin from any physical damage like a sharp branch. It also protects from bacteria and other microorganisms. 
Wilderness has a fluctuating temperature. The dermis has a fat that will help insulating heat when faced with a cold environment. It also has sweat glands to reduce body heat in the hot environment.
