Skin is not just skin. Underneath it are fat and connective tissue, whose properties deteriorate with age. Facelifts only fix the sagging part of older skin, not rejuvenate its properties underneath. I’d like to think of it this way. Youth is associated with fat. Hence the term “baby fats”. As we grow older these fat deposits thin out, their distribution differs, and at some point, old skin isn’t gonna look like younger people skin no matter how you stretch it.
Physically actually do this experiment to visualize.
1. Take some play•doh and make it flat. For cheaper, mix flour and water to make dough… “play” doh
2. forget you put it on a flat surface for a whole day.
3. A day later go look at your play•doh. It’s cracked.
4. **Try to ‘fix’ or mold the cracked material.** If you add water it works, but you’ll definitely notice. The chemical structure changed during the aging/drying process.
This happens to your skin over 50+ years of wear and tear.
