What age does the skin stop being so elastic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genetics: Skin elasticity is a function of genetics and photo aging. In other words your genes matter but so does your behavior throughout your life. The more sun exposure you get the more uva exposure...This accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin, the fibers responsible for elasticity.
