Structural changes in human skin with age. Young skin structure (left) and compared with older skin structure (right). Older skin has fragmented elastin and collagen, increasing water loss, which leads to skin dryness and increased wrinkles. In addition, the skin is thinner with all three layers being less thick then the younger counterpart.
