Abstract	The statistical properties of the skin surface have been described with the use of two approaches. The first approach is based on the probabilistic description of the skin topology at a given distribution density of rough surface heights and its correlation function. The Gaussian and quasi-periodic surfaces, whose parameters were estimated from the literature data, have been considered. The second approach is based on the application of the directional distribution function of microsurfaces of the skin. In the approximation of geometric optics, the shadowing effects of surface relief elements, as applied to the human skin, have been investigated. The changes in the probability density of heights and slopes of parts of the surface irradiated with a directed beam due to the shadow regions have been estimated. The influence of shadowings on the electromagnetic-field-quadratic photometric characteristics of the scattered light has been investigated. The results obtained are of interest for solving direct and inverse problems of biomedical optics — for analyzing the radiation fields in the biotissue and recovering its parameters by optical methods.
