Skin turgor is an abnormality in the
skin's ability to change shape and return
to normal (elasticity). Skin turgor is
the skin's degree of resistance to
deformation and is determined by various
factors, such as the amount of fluids in
the body (hydration) and age.
Home care
a quick check of skin turgor by pinching
the skin over the back of the hand, on the
abdomen, or over the front of the chest
under the collarbone is a good way to
check for dehydration at home.
Mild dehydration will cause the skin to be
slightly slow in its return to normal.
To rehydrate, drink more fluids --
particularly water.

I suffered skin pain for a while and I
think home selfcare is better then pills.

I viewed the web and I think my skin
belong to dry skin.My skin feels rough and
scaly and often is accompanied by a
distressing, intense itchiness.
How to take care of it?

hi kelly..Also try a moisteriser ,dont use
soap as this will dry your skin out even
more.Drinking pleanty of water also helps
balance the skins natural moister and
flushes away all the muck deep down in the
pores.About 3 to 5 glasses of water a day
will help.
