Skin aging is a complex process influenced by heredity and environmental factors. Recent studies of twins have revealed that up to 60% of the variation in skin aging can be attributed to genetic factors. In comparison, the remaining 40% is due to non-genetic factors.

While creating this DNA skincare test, our goal was to classify each marker according to a set of multiple polymorphisms associated with specific skin properties in order to offer anti-ageing therapies or personalized skincare routines.

Until now, most cosmetics and skincare industries have tried to process their demand from “one-size-fits-all” solutions, which are undoubtedly comfortable from a commercial point of view but unrealistic because science has long since shown that everyone is different. The care their skin requires is also different. This DNA skin test is the first step towards individualized beauty treatments.

With our skincare report, you will get practical information that you and your dermatologist or beauty consultant can use when designing a personalized skincare treatment.

The skin is the largest organ of the body, and there are almost as many types as there are people in the world. Your genetics and environment give the different characteristics that define your skin, that is to say, by your DNA and by all the things that have happened to you throughout your life.

Take a DNA skin test and learn how to take care of it

In order to take proper care of your skin, the first thing to do is to get to know it. Some of its characteristics are easily identifiable at a glance. For example, you have very pale skin and are therefore very sensitive to the sun’s rays. Other characteristics, such as glycation, are not so externally identifiable, but a simple DNA skin test can bring them to light and help us choose the best treatments.

Skin types

There are three main skin types depending on whether the glands secrete mainly oil or water:

Dry skin tends to have a very little predisposition to generate impurities, as it does not secrete oil, but it is more prone to generate wrinkles and appear like aged skin.

Oily or combination skin is more prone to suffer from one of the most common pathologies and one that generates the most social and emotional problems due to the aesthetic component it entails: acne. This disorder occurs when grease or dead cells obstruct the hair follicles, leading to the formation of whiteheads, blackheads and comedones. It is very common in adolescence and usually clears up with age but can occur at any stage of life. Acne, psoriasis or varicose veins are, among others, some of the skin diseases that you can find in the “Skincare” section of our DNA skin test.

Which kind of information will I get on a DNA skincare test report?

One of the most critical and recognised aspects related to the skin, both medically and popularly, is sun damage. It has become perhaps the biggest concern for people of all ages in its own right when it comes to dermatological care. Two people with the same skin tone can have different predispositions to photoaging, and, on many occasions, these differences can be seen in their DNA. In our DNA skin test, we have a whole section where we analyze different predispositions such as sun sensitivity, sun spots, ease of tanning and photoaging.

Protecting our skin in the summer months, when we are most exposed to the sun, is now an essential requirement for almost the entire population. But it is not only in summer that we must protect our skin from the sun; the rest of the year, it is also necessary, since, even in cloudy skies, the sun’s rays affect us and damage our epidermis.

But remember that your predispositions can be modulated by acquiring healthy skincare habits. The data in our DNA skin test report will help you adopt the skincare routine you need and try to keep it healthy.

Understanding our skin: glycation and vitamin D

Glycation is an enzymatic reaction that causes alterations in the DNA of the epidermis and the fixation of sugars in intra- and extracellular proteins. That causes the collagen and elastin fibers to become rigid, and, as a result, the skin loses elasticity.

In this respect, the 24Genetics DNA skin test informs you about your predisposition to the risk of glycation in your skin. In case it is high, we recommend some components that cosmetic products or supplements are made from that help control it, such as carnosine, niacinamide, silibinin or alpha-lipoic acid.

Vitamin D is vital for the health of our bones and joints, and our skin plays a key role in its production. Therefore, if you are genetically predisposed to having a vitamin D deficiency, this will be reflected in our DNA skin test. I

In addition, our report also contains information on your predisposition to have adequate levels of other vitamins that are important for skincare, such as B9, B12, C and E and the essential fatty acids Omega-3 and Omega-6.

This is some of the information you will find in your report

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 the dermal inflammation that leads to sagging and cracked skin. Specific treatments are pretty effective, such as Coenzyme Q10.

Oxidative stress

This is another major cause 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 respect, and we will see how to help this process. The same applies to our ability to cope with pollution, skin sensitivity, predisposition to skin inflammation, acne, varicose veins, etc…, all very relevant information when designing our skincare strategy.

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 sunspots. Photo-aging is another key skincare issue, and not everyone has the same genetic predisposition, so we should not treat everyone the same. Listen to your genes and give your skin the care it needs.

Nourish your skin

The first way to care for your skin is from the inside. Vitamins and minerals play a crucial role in the health of your skin. And again, the way we assimilate these vitamins is also determined by our genes. Knowing this basic information helps us see what kind of foods we should eat more often and even what kind of creams can be especially beneficial for our skin.
