As a dermatologist with a deep understanding of skin health and aging, I can provide a comprehensive explanation of why skin loses its elasticity over time. The process is multifactorial and involves a complex interplay of biological, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
Firstly, the natural aging process plays a significant role. As we age, our skin's ability to produce collagen and elastin diminishes. Collagen provides strength and structure, while elastin is responsible for the skin's flexibility and 'bounce back' ability. The decline in these proteins leads to a loss of firmness and elasticity.
Secondly, exposure to the sun is a major contribut

The loss of the elastic tissue (elastin) in the skin with age causes the skin to hang loosely. Skin becomes more transparent. This is caused by thinning of the epidermis (surface layer of the skin).Jan 11, 2017
