Answer:
The loss of the elastic tissue (elastin and collagen) in the skin with age causes the skin to hang loosely. ... Skin becomes more fragile as we age. This is caused by a flattening of the area where the epidermis and dermis (layer of skin under the epidermis) come together. Skin becomes more easily bruised.

Answer:
The deterioration of collagen and elastin fibers during the aging process causes wrinkles.
Explanation:
- Collagen fibers are responsible for creating the basis for hyaluronic acid and elastin, which are responsible for the elasticity of tissues and deterioration of these fibers, make the skin, thin, dry and less elastic.
- Due to the breakdown of elastin fibers, they lose their ability to stretch back after stretching and also cause sags in tissues.
- Because of harm to elastin and collagen fibers, tissues lose their rigidity.
- Also, due to the ageing process, the body generates less collagen as well as elastin.
- These reasons are responsible for the skin wrinkles that occur after the deterioration of collagen and elastin fibers.
