Turgor is what creates a feeling of tightness and elasticity of the skin. The smooth oval of the face and the smoothness of the contours indicate good turgor. The skin feels quite elastic and youthful. Its condition can be assessed in a simple way. It is necessary to pull the back of the hand and release. Then see how quickly it will return to its previous state. If the traces completely disappear in more than five seconds, then urgent action must be taken.
Proper care
The elasticity of women's skin directly depends on estrogen - the female hormone, since it is he who is responsible for the activity of fibroblasts - special cells responsible for the production of the three main components of the skin - collagen, elastin and hyaluron. Most of all, weakened turgor is noticeable on the face, neck and décolleté, but do not forget about the importance of caring for the entire surface of the body. It should be noted that the skin of the body is rougher than the face. Therefore, body care must necessarily include the use of peels, scrubs and polishing. Regular contrast showers and self-massage also significantly improve turgor. The skin will look younger due to the improvement of blood microcirculation and the elasticity of the vessel walls.
However, creams, scrubs and so on - that's not all that needs to be done to maintain youthfulness and elasticity of the skin. To restore turgor from the inside will help adjust the hormonal balance. One simple exercise will help you with this - the Kegel exercise. It not only improves the blood supply to the pelvic organs, but also helps regulate the production of estrogen, the hormone responsible for normal turgor. The skin needs constant care both outside and inside. Don't forget about it!
Effective methods to improve skin condition

For example, rosewood, wild carrot seed and immortelle oils are quite effective in improving turgor. The skin of the whole body will look and feel much younger, which will definitely be reflected in the improvement of the skin of the face. At the same time, do not forget about the importance of proper nutrition and sports training. It will also help restore firmness and youthfulness to the skin.
