For tone check the rebound of the skin; by gently flicking the cheek up at the bottom with your forefinger, if there a slow rebound then elasticity and collagen are important considerations as it means the less there is the slower the rebound.
For hydration, first place you want to look is the forehead. Gently pinch forehead skin together, release and watch time taken for skin to go back to original position. If pinched line stays visible, skin is dehydrated. Please note the difference between dehydration and an ageing skin lacking in oils which is dry. Dryness is identified by flakiness, lack of oil, tight pores and dullness. Dryness is a more topical concern. Dehydration is a more dermal concern. Dehydration is best addressed using exfoliation and serums for deeper penetration and dryness with the correct exfoliation and moisturiser
Texture means looking for breakouts and bumps as well as scarring as a start. Further texture analysis will incorporate identifying sensitive skin. Sensitivity means redness on the cheeks, broken capillaries around the nose area and cheeks. Look also for fine lines and wrinkles in the texture analysis

4) Pigmentation is a large concern for most adults. Usually showing itself around the forehead, cheeks and upper lip. The reason for pigmentation should be noted and the depth to understand how it can be treated and if it can be treated.
5) Skin sensitivity is a big factor as to what facial and products are applied to the skin and also for home care and treatment; it needs to be identified. FIrst and foremost before anything is being performed. Usually it presents itself with broken capillaries around nose and cheeks, a flush to the face, thin skin and very fair skin.
