What is the effect of a lack of collagen and elastin?

Elastin is a protein that coils and recoils like a spring within the elastic fibers of connective tissue in the body – like your skin.

Collagen – another important skin element – is what provides structure to the skin. Starting in our mid 20’s, elastin, we stop producing elastin and collagen decreases each year.^12-14
