The body’s most visible tissue and the most obvious place to observe the effects of aging is the skin. Our body's collagen begins to decrease as we age

Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in the body that helps to repair skin and keep it strong. As we age, our natural production slows down but certain lifestyle factors can also contribute to the breakdown of collagen, making our skin appear dull and quicken the aging process.
