Healthy skin is considered to be ________.

  1. Elastic

  2. Rough

  3. Dry

  4. Oily

The correct answer is: Elastic

Healthy skin is considered to be elastic because it signifies good skin hydration and is able to adapt to facial expressions and movements. Rough skin may be a sign of dehydration or exposure to environmental factors. Dry skin lacks moisture and may feel tight or itchy. Oily skin occurs when the sebaceous glands produce excess sebum, leading to a shiny appearance and potential for clogged pores. While all skin types are normal and common, elastic skin is considered to be the most ideal and healthy.
