Fragile skin is skin that is thinning, losing both strength and elasticity. Collagen, a vital protein primarily found in the dermis, the deeper and primary layer of skin, keeps the skin firm, strong and helps support skin hydration. As people age, or as they experience certain medical conditions, women and men naturally lose collagen, along with the protective fat-intensive layer beneath the skin.
Especially in women, the visible signs of Fragile Skin can begin in the forties and accelerate in the fifties as estrogen levels start falling during the peri-and post-menopause. As estrogen levels decline, the skin loses collagen and the protective inner layer of skin. According to the American Dermatological Association, studies show that the skin loses about 30% of its collagen during the first five years following menopause and that women lose about 2% of their collagen in skin every year for the next 20 years.4
As collagen in the inner layer diminishes, the manifestations of increasingly Fragile Skin become more visible i.e., skin sags, wrinkles and continues to become thinner and drier. Fragile Skin can become easily irritated, cracked and vulnerable to bruising, tearing and other painful skin damage.
Skin experts recommend that Fragile Skin can be prevented and managed by, using sunscreen, drinking plenty of water, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and, most importantly, adopting a daily and proactive skin care routine with the right skin care products, specifically developed for preventing and managing Fragile Skin. Such a routine, rigorously practiced, can help promote healthier and more resilient skin.
