Collagen: Collagen is the most abundant protein in the skin, making up 75% of your skin. This is also your fountain of youth, for it's responsible for warding off wrinkles and fine lines. Over time, environmental factors and aging diminish your body's ability to produce collagen.
Elastin: Elastin provides elasticity in our skin. This protein is found with collagen in the dermis, and is responsible for giving structure to your skin and organs. As with collagen, elastin is affected by time and the elements. Diminished levels of this protein cause your skin to wrinkle and sag.
