They provide an ability of the skin to stretch and retain its shape

Explanation:

Collagen fibers are the main source of support for the tissues of the body. They are thick and very resistant fibers that get tangled up between the cells of the terme. When tensioned, the collagen fibers stretch a little and quickly return to normal. This ability, promotes skin resistance and allows the skin to be stretched without tearing and can quickly return to its normal shape.
