elastic skin
Skin that rebounds
Elastic skin is skin that stretches more than normal and returns slowly or incompletely to its original position.
The term appears most often in medical contexts describing connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, where collagen abnormalities cause unusual skin flexibility: The doctor noted the patient's elastic skin during examination.
Outside clinical settings, elastic skin may simply describe skin that remains supple and resilient, as in skincare marketing.
