As you age, the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins that give skin strength and elasticity, starts to slow down. This leads to aging skin, as it loses shape and starts to sag. The deep layers of fat that give the skin its plump fullness start disappearing, leading to thinner skin and hollowed areas near the eyes and cheeks. You may see this on your hands, where fat loss makes the tendons and blood vessels more noticeable.
The outermost layer of skin develops fine lines, wrinkles, and darkened spots from sun exposure, while a loss of pigment leads to paler skin and gray or white hair.
