Elastin is the counterpart to collagen. It is made up of fibers that provide the stretch and snap (elasticity) in our skin. Elastin forms a meshwork of fibers that acts like spandex for the skin. Hydrated elastin functions in combination with desmosomes (fibrous bonds holding skin cells together) to tighten the skin. As hyaluronic acid (providing the hydration) holds 1000 times its weight in water, it moisturizes and protects the skin from environmental assaults and UV damage. At about 28 years of age, elastin production is at a maximum. At 32, elastin production regeneration has passed the peak regeneration, and by 42 the skin begins exhibiting the signs of aging. Sagging, fine lines, crow’s feet, creases, and associated wrinkles start to appear. By 65, gravity appears as a dominating force, The solution seems simple, regenerate the elastin fibers within the skin.
