Why is my skin sagging?

With age our skin naturally loses adipose, a fatty tissue which gives our skin volume. In addition, as our skin is exposed to the sun, the elastin in our skin becomes damaged, losing its elasticity. As our skin loses its ability to stretch and recoil, it will sag and become lax.
