Aging

As we age, the loss of elastin and collagen causes our skin to become fragile and loose-looking. Our skin cannot repair itself like it did 20 years ago. We start to lose collagen and elastin in the top layers of our skin, which causes fine lines and wrinkles. Outside factors also affect our skin. Sun exposure, diet, lifestyle, and heredity have an impact on the way our skin ages. Women typically start to notice the visible changes of fine lines and wrinkles when they reach between 30 and 40 years.
