(HealthDay News) -- As the typical person ages, the skin looses its plump, smooth appearance. Ever wonder why?

The Cleveland Clinic offers these potential explanations:

  • Not drinking enough.
  • Sun exposure.
  • Being in dry air.
  • Smoking.
  • Increasing stress.
  • Less active oil and sweat glands.
  • Taking medication that dries the skin.
