How old is your skin? To find out, take this quick, effective and free test which will determine the quality of your epidermis without making an appointment with the dermatologist.
Does your body shape reflect your age? Your skin is the mirror of your lifestyle and other genetic factors, which is why it too has a few candles on its cake. In order to know your precise age, here is a test to do at home, 5 seconds only.
How can skin reveal its age?
Diet, sleep, exposure to the sun, tobacco or pollution are all external attacks that impact the elasticity of the skin. Thus, these slow down cell renewal, sometimes causing premature skin aging. It is possible that at 40, your skin looks 60. To find out where you stand, here is a test to carry out at home, without any equipment. Simply place your hand flat in front of you, palm facing the ground and pinch the skin for 5 seconds using your thumb and index finger. The time it takes for your skin to return to its original appearance will determine its age:
- If the skin gets between 0 and 2 seconds to recover, she under 30 years old
- If the skin gets between 3 and 4 seconds to recover, she between 30 and 44 years old
- If the skin gets between 5 and 9 seconds to recover, she between 45 and 50 years old
- If the skin gets between 10 and 15 seconds to recover, she between 60 and 70 years old
- If the skin gets between 35 and 55 seconds to recover, she over 70 years old
