SkinGeneius represents a cutting-edge DNA test that delves into 16 genetic markers, known as Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), across 6 distinct categories related to skin health and aging. With just a quick 10-second saliva test, your DNA sample is sent to a certified laboratory for analysis. You’ll receive a personalised report that uncovers your skin’s genetic predispositions in the following tailored test categories:
- Skin firmness and collagen: Assessing the genetic factors that may affect the firmness and elasticity of your skin due to collagen synthesis and degradation.
- Wrinkling and sugar glycation: Evaluating your genetic tendency towards wrinkling and the effects of glycation, a process where sugar molecules bind to proteins like collagen, potentially leading to premature aging.
- Solar damage protection: Determining your skin’s genetic capability to protect itself against damage from UV exposure.
- Even skin tone and brightness: Identifying genetic markers that influence pigmentation, the potential for skin tone unevenness, and overall skin brightness.
- Skin antioxidant levels: Analysing genes that may impact the level of antioxidants your skin naturally produces, which are crucial for protecting against oxidative stress.
- Inflammation and skin sensitivity: Uncovering genetic indicators that could make your skin more prone to inflammation and sensitivity, affecting its overall resilience and reaction to environmental stressors.
