As you age, the collagen and elastin layer literally disintegrate. Even worse this process starts as young as age 20. So, imagine how much change you are seeing if you are later in life and have not been caring for your skin. These changes become apparent with the emergence of larger pores, increased wrinkling, and sagging in the skin. A bonus to this “trinity of aging” is that the skin will thin and become more fragile as well. If you want healthy, smooth and firm skin throughout life, then caring for this layer of skin is vital.
