Your skin is the largest and most visible organ in your body. As we age our skin becomes thinner and less elastic. Collagen and elastin, the tissues that keep the skin firm, typically become weaker, with gravity taking over and exerting a constant downward pull. Superficial blemishes may also become more noticeable.
