Loss of Elasticity
Loss of elasticity is a common concern when it comes to aging skin. As we age, our skin produces less collagen and elastin, which are the proteins responsible for maintaining skin's firmness and elasticity. Environmental factors like sun damage, pollution, and smoking can also contribute to this issue.
