When the skin on your fingers doesn't bounce back it can be a result of poor skin tugor or natural aging or dehydration.

Skin tugor is your skin's elasticity and poor skin tugor is when your skin remains pinched or tents.

Poor skin tugor can also be associated with hydration or other medical conditions and even natural aging.

Connective tissue disorders such as Ehlers Danlos Syndrome or scleroderma can also affect the elasticity of your skin.

Dehydration and not drinking enough water is the main cause of poor skin tugor as when you don't drink enough water, it causes the skin to lose elasticity and may not bounce back as quickly when it's pinched.

The age that skin does not bounce back is in your late 30s to early 40s.

By your late 30s to early 40s the skin does not bounce back due to a natural decline in the production of elastin and collagen which are the things responsible for the skins firmness and also elasticity.

Some people may notice some changes in skin elasticity as early as their mid to late 20s and more significant changes in skin elasticity often occur in the 30s and 40s.

And things such as genetics, lifestyle choices and even UV exposure can also effect how quickly and when the skin loses it's elasticity and does not bounce back.

Things that make a face look older are smoking, not using sunscreen, lines on your face, stress, dark circles, poor diet, poor sleep, natural aging, sagging skin, age spots and changes in your facial structure such as drooped jowls and receding hairline.

Also elastin becoming damaged can make your face look older as when the elastin is damaged it causes the skin to sag.

It's natural for the face to look older as we age and also genetic predisposition can make your face look older.

Using skin creams or having face lifts, plastic surgery or Botox injections can sometimes restore the face to a younger more youthful look.

The face shapes that age the best are the oval face shapes and round face shapes due to the natural volume as well as balanced proportions.

Round faces also tend to retain more of their volume in the cheek area, which contributes to a more youthful look for a longer period of time.

And oval faces offer versatility and are also considered attractive and age pretty well.

Round faces also store a lot of fat in the cheek area which can keep a person looking younger for longer periods of time as you age and a gaunt and also dull complexion takes longer to develop in round faces.

The rarest face shape is the diamond face shape.

A diamond face shape is a face shape where a person has a narrow forehead, wide cheekbones and also a narrow chin.

Diamond shaped faces are often narrower at the eye line and the jaw line along with high and often dramatic cheekbones.

Other rare and less common face shapes are oblong face shapes, kite face shapes, heptagon face shapes and teardrop face shapes.

The pyramid face shape is also an unusual face shape although it's not as rare as the diamond face shape.

Some other rare and uncommon face shapes are rectangular face shapes, triangular face shapes, inverted triangle face shapes, trapezoidal face shapes and hexagonal face shapes.

The oval face shape is often seen as the most attractive face shape.

The oval face shape is considered well balanced as well as versatile and it's proportions are even and makes it suitable for a wide range of hairstyles and makeup styles.

The square face shape is also an attractive face shape, that has defined jawlines and cheekbones and is often associated with strength and confidence.

Round face shapes are also attractive and has softer features which can be seen as youthful and approachable.

Heart shaped faces are also considered attractive and has wider foreheads and narrow chins, and can also be seen as feminine and delicate.

And the diamond face shape which is a rare face shape is also attractive and can be seen as dramatic and sculpted.
