They break the sulfur crosslinks that hold keratin together, so that
it softens and falls apart. 'Permanent' hair-setting treatments do the
same thing, but under more controlled conditions.
Your skin is protected by oils and many layers of dead cells that
break down more slowly and protect the live skin underneath.
