Our skin is composed of three layers, the upper layer Epidermis, the middle layer, dermis and the bottom layer called hypodermis. Wrinkling of the skin is because of various factors and the most important of which is age. With time, the cells of the skin lose moisture and tend to become thin, reducing the skin layer and making it more prone to dryness and in addition, to aging signs.
The middle layer consists of cells that produce a special type of protein called Collagen which works to bind the skin cells together and gives skin a smoother texture. With time, the ability of cells in the middle layer to secrete collagen, reduces which results in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
