Why does skin become dull and rough with age?

Maturing skin becomes more susceptible to external damage as the outermost layer (epidermis) thins out. More UV-induced damage leads to age spots and pigmentation; as well as generation of more cell-damaging free radicals. Also the rate of generation of newer, healthier cells decreases; consequently so does the skin’s ability to heal itself.
