What is mature skin?
Over time and with hormonal changes, the skin tends to become thinner, dry out, show signs of aging, and lose its firmness, density, and elasticity. This phenomenon reflects skin aging. As we age, skin cells renew less and less, contributing to the accumulation of dead cells. The activity and number of fibroblasts decrease. Consequently, there is a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
This results in skin laxity, sagging skin, and the appearance of wrinkles that become, over the years, more numerous and deeper. A decrease in the level of hyaluronic acid also occurs, causing dehydration and skin dryness, as well as skin thinning (loss of volume).
