As our understanding of ageing, particularly ageing of the skin deepens, it becomes clear that our skin is like any other organ of our body. It fails over time. In other words, just as your heart, brain, kidney, or any other organ ages and fails, your skin also starts to show chronic signs of failure in your 40s and 50s. When our skin deteriorates, it starts to fall. As our skin loses its elasticity and the collagen layers that hold it firmly to our bodies, we can see it beginning to sag and lose firmness.
