Your Skin Changes Over Time
It’s probably no surprise that your skin changes over time – but do you know exactly how it changes? Collagen and elastin are two important components that help keep facial lines and wrinkles at bay. Collagen and elastin help keep the skin strong and elastic. Unfortunately, aging and environmental factors like sun damage make it harder for your body to produce these components. Reduced amounts of collagen and elastin can cause facial skin to wrinkle and sag.
