Taking care of your skin
In this section, we will look at specific genetic markers that, for example, influence glycation, a process that occurs with glucose in the dermis and is one of the main causes of accelerated skin aging and dermal inflammation that leads to sagging and cracked skin. Specific treatments are quite effective, such as coenzyme Q10.
Oxidative stress
This is another of the main causes of skin aging. Our body has its own antioxidant system, but not all of us have an equally effective one. Through our genetic data, we can see how our body behaves in this sense, and we will see how to help in this process. The same applies to our ability to deal with pollution, skin sensitivity, predisposition to skin inflammation, acne, varicose veins, etc..., all very relevant information when designing our strategy. skin care.
The sun and your skin
Not everyone has the same sensitivity to the sun, and this is something we can measure. This also applies to tanning ability and even our predisposition to sun spots. Photoaging is another key skincare issue, and not everyone has the same genetic predisposition, so we shouldn't treat everyone the same. Listen to your genes and give your skin the care it needs.
Nourish your skin
The first way to take care of your skin is from the inside. Vitamins and minerals play a crucial role in skin health. And again, the way we assimilate these vitamins is also determined by our genes. Knowing this basic information helps us see what type of foods we should eat more often and even what type of creams can be especially beneficial for our skin.
