By definition, a ridge is a groove or fold of skin or other membrane, either by decreasing the deeper layer of fat or by decreasing the size of the cells that are part of the dermis. Essentially, there occurs a decrease in water content, the skin produces less oil and the outer layer (epidermis) becomes rough, dry, well, there is an alteration of elastic fibers and collagen in the dermis. When collagen production is reduced, the skin sags. As elastic fibers are deteriorating, the skin loses its elasticity and wrinkles and changes in appearance that aging skin can be differentiated from young skin.
