not unlike our own skin.

That is their protection against predators. The fine powder has a bitter taste to where if a predator tries to eat them, it will leave a nasty taste in their mouth to where they will spit the butterfly out.

Also, in at least one butterfly family, Pieridae (the sulphurs), the waste product uric acid is stored in the wing scales. It's how they get rid of excess and it gives them their color (yellow and white).
And sometimes they have scent scales, which are modified wing scales that release pheromones.
