There are several subtypes of collagen and each part of your body can have a different mixture of these collagen subtypes.
Your body will continue to produce collagen throughout your life. Collagen and other proteins like elastin are components of youthful skin. There can be decreased collagen content in older skin in comparison to younger skin.

It exists in many types of cells but it is very important for epithelial cells, which make up the skin. Keratin is a type of filament protein, called an intermediate filament. Keratin has two main functions in the skin. to hold skin cells together to form a barrier, and to form the outermost layer of our skin, that protects us from the environment.

Every tissue in our bodies needs vitamin D and will not work correctly if we do not get enough. Dark-skinned people may be less efficient at making vitamin D because melanin in the skin hinders vitamin D production. The higher the levels of melanin, the less vitamin D the skin can absorb. Sunscreen blocks UV-B radiation and prevents the manufacture of vitamin D.  ]]> 2017-12-08 19:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/slaw0289/hl59h8sujd88/wish/214638619 slaw0289 https://padlet.com/slaw0289/hl59h8sujd88/wish/214638700  Skin is a major retinoid-responsive tissue.
