    TLDR Skin ages and changes due to sun, wind, and aging, causing dryness, thinning, and hair loss.
    The document discussed the degeneration of dermal collagen leading to thinning and loss of skin elasticity, influenced by environmental factors like sun and wind, alongside aging. It noted that the skin became drier due to the atrophy of sweat glands and reduced sebum excretion. Pigmentary changes were common, especially in exposed areas. Additionally, both sexes experienced a loss of hair follicles, resulting in diffuse hair thinning, alongside male pattern baldness.
