Here’s a simple five-second skin turgor test you can try: Pinch the skin on the back of your hand and watch how quickly it returns to normal. If it bounces back right away, you’re likely well-hydrated. But if it stays tented or returns slowly, it can be a sign of dehydration. ✅ Important note: For people over 65, skin naturally loses elasticity. That means even well-hydrated older adults may have slower skin recoil. But if you do this test regularly with someone you care for, you can spot change
