There are several reasons that cause our skin degrades over time and is subject to the aging process, along with many changes in its external and internal structure. The older we are the more natural content of hyaluronic acid decreases, which causes wrinkles, skin thinning and loss of the oval.
Hyaluronic acid consists of a combination of collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis and it retains the skin moisture by binding water molecules. Due to its features, it gets wrinkles out and minimizes skin inflammation.
Elastin is responsible for our skin's elasticity of collagen fibers. It gives the skin the necessary flexibility and tension. In addition to these features it is responsible for maintaining the right and adequate hydration level of the skin. Additionally, it perfectly nourishes and moisturizes, leaving a protective film on the skin.
During the aging process, the soluble collagen is gradually converted to insoluble cross-linked collagen which has lost the capacity of water absorption. The skin becomes dry and not very flexible. In this process, the skin stops producing elastin - therefore the skin loses its elasticity and becomes dry.
