skin and wrinkle


To start off, if some of you think you have a skin without hair, guess again.
By looking under a portable microscope, you will likely notice bits of hair shooting out like in these pictures.

As you see in these pictures, the keratin layer is a significant part to our body, having not only dead skin cells laid at the epidermis, but also presenting an optical view of ourselves. Here in the picture, skin is with wrinkles though not quite visible with just the naked eye, 


Believe it or not, but even people in youth have wrinkles like these! The wrinkles only intensify as you age because less collagen are produced and elastic fibers become less elastic leading to sagging and wrinkling. Following, the dullness shown on skins as one ages is because less moisture is transported to the epidermis as well.
