Thinning Skin
Overview
Thin skin has an appearance like tissue paper, also known as crepey skin, it also tears, bruises, and or breaks easily because it is fragile.
Aging and prolonged sun exposure can lead to reduced collagen and elastin creating thinning skin on the face and body. Prolonged corticosteroid use also thins the skin and unfortunately, eating collagen supplements doesn’t help. The collagen molecule is too large to be absorbed if you swallow it. So, eating the right foods that are rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids helps the body make more collagen. Stimulating your own collagen to grow through skincare with active ingredients and doctor-recommended laser and skin treatments is your best solution.
