Giải thích
The subcutaneous layer is adipose and connective tissue that cushions underlying structures, insulates the body, and gives the face its contour, which is why its loss with age contributes to hollowing and sagging. Melanin comes from the basal layer, desquamation occurs at the corneum, and sebum is produced by sebaceous glands in the dermis.
