Background of Skin Aging

Many factors, such as an unhealthy lifestyle, influence skin aging. For example, the skin of smokers often ages much faster than that of non-smokers.

Unhealthy diet, poor skin care, and excessive UV exposure also seem to have negative effects on the skin and accelerate aging. However, in addition to our lifestyle, another factor influences our skin aging. After all, it can happen that the skin of two people with almost identical lifestyles ages at different rates.

Our Genes Influence Skin Aging

It is now known that our skin aging is also influenced by our genes. Individual differences often have a drastic impact on the skin aging process.

Over 20 different genetic variations have been described that affect more than eight different factors of skin aging. Our genetic test can determine your personal predispositions to actively counteract the aging of your skin.

How Does Our Beauty Sensor Work?

With our Beauty Sensor, we examine your submitted sample for the genes associated with skin aging. This enables us to assess your individual genetic predispositions and calculate their effect on key skin aging factors.

In this process, we analyze collagen production, collagen breakdown, UV protection, skin moisture, and the effects of oxidative stress, among other things. We also check the effectiveness of Q10, your individual selenium needs, possible damage from genetically-induced inflammatory reactions, and your biological age.

The test results are summarized in a detailed written report that shows which factors of skin aging are problematic and how you can counteract them with a nutrient intake tailored to you.

Overall, our Beauty Sensor can help you improve your skin’s appearance and delay the genetically determined aging process of your skin.
