Skin Research: The Connection Between  Our Genes and Skin Aging


Recent skin research has shown the connection between our genes and skin aging. This research led to the discover that there is a connection between genes and skin aging. In fact, we now know that our genes can influence the way we age. Can this process be influenced by outside factors?

Ever since researchers discovered the structure of DNA in 1953, knowledge about the human genes continued to grow so that by 2003 the entire human genome code was known. Due to that research scientists are now able to link genes to skin aging.

One tenth of the over 20,000 human genes are involved in the regulation of 'expression' of the rest of the genes. The genetic code of a gene is "interpreted" by gene expression. The challenge for science today to better understand how gene expressions changes with age and how to externally influence it.. In other words, can we influence how we age simply by external factors?

Researchers are capable of measuring the aging process at the genetic level and learning how external factors affect skin aging. Nu Skin is now able to take advantage of that information and produce products that influence the aging process at the genetic level.

This is an amazing breakthrough and it has enable Nu Skin to develop anti-aging skin care  products that can slow and even reverse this aging process. 

As skin research continues we will learn even more about our genes and how they affect skin aging.

Nu Skin is positioned to take advantage of these developments to provide a new platform of anti-aging products today and well into the future.
