Scientists assure that aging of the skin takes place in the connective tissue of the dermis layer of the skin (70% of the proteins in the dermis are made up of collagen). The skin ages when our collagen turns insoluble. At that moment the molecules lose flexibility and the connective tissue which absorbs moisture, dries and finally wrinkles and ages. Collagen is also found in cartilage, bones, nails and hair along with those parts of our body which take on force such as tendons.
