Body Skin Laxity: Causes The causes of skin laxity on the body can range from genetics to daily lifestyle and habits. More specifically, skin laxity on the body is caused by: The natural aging process which slows down the rate of collagen and elastin production. Aging is one of the factors that cannot be prevented. Smoking is also among the harms it causes to health, as it affects the production of elastin, the substance that gives elasticity to the skin, and collagen, which gives the skin its firmness. Weight loss , and especially significant weight loss, leads to skin laxity, which is the next major problem someone who wants to get rid of excess weight has to solve. Also, women after pregnancy face a problem of laxity, especially in the abdominal area. Sun exposure is another factor contributing to skin laxity, as ultraviolet radiation affects skin elasticity.
