Collagen Is Like Scaffolding

a: Collagen ~
b: scaffolding

What: "Collagen and elastin are proteins in skin that diminish as we get older. Collagen is like scaffolding that gives skin its structure and keeps wrinkles from forming, while elastin is more like a spring-without it, skin loses its ability to bounce back and starts to sag."
