Any ideas why your skin starts to wrinkle when you age?

Combination of: Things, including sun damage, constant flexing at certain points, dehydration and loss of subcutaneous fat that is natural with aging. As you age, you also have a different collagen makeup switching types to a less elastic form as we age.
