Explanation:

Skin cells are specialized to be quickly shed and replaced, and do not have much mitochondria (which helps produce energy). Muscle cells, conversely, have lots of mitochondria because they need energy to produce movement.

A skin cell should proliferate very well and at the same time be protected against UV radiation, it would be important to have a function in which is cell is flexible, but also comparably hard.

A muscle cell needs a huge metabolism, a certain way to function, UV protection on the other side is really not its business.

They have a completely different function. For example, muscle cells are needed to contract and produce movement, whereas skin cells are primarily used as protection and to maintain homeostasis. It is vital that these cells are suited and designed to maximise their role. (eg muscle cells have many mitochondria to carry out the respiration needed to produce the energy to contract)
Hope this helps and let me know if you still don’t understand :)
