Wrinkles form when our skin loses some of its elasticity and moisture. The components responsible keeping the skin elastic are collagen and elastin. Collagen is like a long branchy chain of molecules that holds the cells together. It’s produced by star shaped fibroblast cells, but can be broken up and damaged by free radicals and aging. In order to help our skin stay elastic, we can keep it well nourished and support collagen production.
