The most common causes include:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nCollagen gives skin structure, while elastin allows it to snap back. Starting in your mid-20s, collagen production declines by about 1% per year.<\/p>\n
\nOver time, skin becomes thinner and less resilient, making it more vulnerable to gravity.<\/p>\n
\nRapid weight loss or gain stretches the skin, making it harder to bounce back.<\/p>\n
\nUV damage accelerates collagen breakdown and weakens skin fibers.<\/p>\n
\nSmoking, poor nutrition, stress, and dehydration all contribute to skin laxity.<\/p>\n
