OUUUUCH!!! SUPPER FLEXIBLE

Skin elasticity, also known as skin turgor is the amount of resilience or bounce in the largest organ of the body - the skin. As we age, we tend to lose moisture in the skin from the sun, environment, our diets, smoking and lack of attention to or improper care of the skin. As a result, we develop more wrinkles, the skin gets tough and leathery and our skin loses elasticity and bounce.

Physicians will test the skin elasticity during an annual physical as a way to check the body's hydration level. The most common areas of the body to check skin elasticity are the hands and the face can be used as well.

If you want to know your level of elasticity and to maintain a youthful look with good skin elasticity, follow these simple steps to learn how to check it. If your skin doesn't bounce back quickly, add hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to your skin care regime and you'll be happily surprised by the results.
