What is the Extracellular Matrix (and Why it Matters For Your Skin)
Think of the extracellular matrix (ECM) as your skin’s support system — like scaffolding that keeps everything strong, firm, and healthy. It’s made up of important building blocks like collagen, elastin, and other natural substances that help your skin stay plump, smooth, and hydrated. Over time, or with too much stress from things like sun exposure or harsh products, the ECM can start to break down. When that happens, you might notice more fine lines, sagging, or a rougher texture.
