Why Does Your Skin Lose Elasticity?
The loss of the elastic tissue (elastin) in the skin with age causes the skin to hang loosely. This is caused by thinning of the epidermis (surface layer of the skin). Skin becomes more fragile. This is caused by a flattening of the area where the epidermis and dermis (layer of skin under the epidermis) come together.

Keeping this in consideration, how can I improve my skin elasticity?

Improving Your Skin's Elasticity

  1. Stop smoking. Studies show that smoking destroys Collagen and Elastin, and decreases your body's levels of Estrogen, which help keep skin supple and firm.
  2. Wear sunscreen.
  3. Exercise and eat right.
  4. Get your beauty rest.
  5. Skin care products.
  6. Stay hydrated.
  7. Medical procedures.

Beside above, how can I increase collagen and elastin in my skin? When your body makes collagen, it combines amino acids — nutrients you get from eating protein-rich foods, like beef, chicken, fish, beans, eggs and dairy products. The process also requires vitamin C, zinc and copper. You can get vitamin C by eating citrus fruits, red and green peppers, tomatoes, broccoli and greens.
