Adult stem cells are found in a few select locations in the body, known as niches, such as those in the bone marrow or gonads. They exist to replenish rapidly lost cell types and are multipotent or unipotent, meaning they only differentiate into a few cell types or one type of cell. In mammals, they include, among others, hematopoietic stem cells, which replenish blood and immune cells, basal cells, which maintain the skin epithelium [...].
I am pretty sure that the thing a skin cell makes per default when it splits is more skin cells, so you are likely correct.
I thought this first too. I checked on Wikipedia:
