All of the changes listed above occur to the skin with aging. The skin becomes less elastic with the cross-linking of collagen fibers that make up the skin in addition to a loss of those elastic fibers and adipose tissue in the subcutaneous tissue. In addition sweat glands in the skin are reduced as are the number of sebaceous glands. The loss of sweat glands makes it harder for the individual to adjust to temperature changes and the loss of sebaceous glands leads to drying and cracking of the skin.Bloom's
