For smooth and supple skin, collagen and elastin fibres in the dermis keep the skin taut. As we age, these fibres break down. The repair and replacement are, alas, not as rapid as before. The skin loses firmness and may begin to sag and jowl. This can be minimised by using sunscreen and adopting a good skincare regime. There are also clinical treatments available.
