Is Your Skin Younger or Older?
Below is a skin elasticity test you can use to approximately determine the functional age of your skin. Find out if your skin is functionally older or younger than your biological age. Pinch the skin on the back of your hand with the thumb and forefinger and hold it for 5 seconds. Let go and time how long it takes for the skin to completely flatten back out. The longer the time, the older the functional age of your skin.
| Time (Seconds) |
Functional Age (Years) |
| 1-2 |
under 30 |
| 3-4 |
30-44 |
| 5-9 |
45-50 |
| 10-15 |
60 |
| 35-55 |
70 |
| 56 or more |
over 70 |
I hope that your skin's functional age turned out to be younger. If not, try replacing your present crop of lotions and creams with CNO, the healthiest oil on earth. To restore skin elasticity, I believe your safest and best option is to go natural. For thousands of years, tropical inhabitants have relied on coconut oil (CNO) to achieve and maintain young-looking skin from head to toe. Coconut oil takes care of your skin the way nature intended.
Your skin loses its elasticity as you age. If you're 40 years old or so, you may have noticed a significant change in your skin condition. Wrinkles are more obvious and regularly exposed skin are kind of leathery.
