Skin Changes That Come With Age
Our skin is at the mercy of many forces as we age: sun, harsh weather, and bad habits. Skin ages also depend on a variety of factors: lifestyle, diet, heredity, and other personal habits. You might notice wrinkles, age spots and dryness as you age. After the age of 20, a person produces about 1 percent less collagen in the skin each year. As a result, the skin becomes thinner and more fragile with age. Your skin also will lose fat, making it less plump and smooth.
