Wrinkles are caused by the loss of collagen in the middle layer of skin called the dermis. This layer is made up of collagen and elastin fibers. These proteins are what support the skin and make it resilient.

Other components of this layer are capillaries, lymph nodes, hair follicles, nerve and muscle cells, seat glands and, most importantly for this discussion,replica watches, sebaceous glands.
