The tissue most responsible for the youthful appearance of our skin is collagen, which is the dermis’ main structural component.
Collagen makes up 75% of the skin and makes up to 90% of the connective tissues in skin. Collagen has the capacity to hold up to eight times its weight in water. Therefore, collagen is by far the main component that moisturizes the skin.
As a result, collagen weakens with time in a number of different ways. Collagen fibers are hydrated while we are in our prime. The “collagen fibrils” that are continuously fed to them bind to these fibers and give them life and moisture, allowing them to function at their peak.
