As we age, our skin undergoes various changes that are a natural part of the aging process. These changes can affect the skin’s appearance, texture, and overall health. Understanding how skin ages and how to care for it can help maintain its health and vitality. Here’s a look at the key aspects of skin aging:
1. Loss of Collagen and Elastin
- What Happens: Collagen and elastin are proteins that give skin its structure, firmness, and elasticity. As we age, the production of these proteins decreases, leading to thinner, less elastic skin.
- Result: This loss contributes to the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
