Frequently Asked Questions

You get a DNA analysis, a personalized DNA report, the DNA test + 4 personalized products based on your DNA and lifestyle. Also, if necessary, an intake or follow-up Nomige consultation with Dr. Barbara Geusens. Along with your 4 tubes comes a marble tray in which to place them.

The Nomige package consists of 4 products to guarantee a complete treatment; All products have a specific effect due to the ingredients they contain, guaranteeing a complete treatment. The serum and cream are used both during the day and at night as they are best achieved through individual use. Applying the products over time allows your skin to process them better. Compare this to your diet; you also eat varied during the day instead of 1 large extensive meal in the morning.

The process consists of two steps; 1. You place your order and complete the Lifestyle Test online. After 1-2 working days you will receive your DNA kit at home.2. You follow the instructions, collect your saliva and send it back. From that moment on we do all the work: your DNA is analyzed and your product package is made and sent to you. Generally, it takes up to four weeks from the time we receive your saliva sample.* Delivery takes 3-5 business days when shipping overseas.

The whole process takes 4-5 weeks. Read more here.

You will find a prepaid return label in your DNA kit where you can find all the instructions. Close your DNA kit after saliva collection and use the return label to send your sample back to us.

On average, you will receive your DNA results 2-3 weeks after we receive your DNA sample. We will send the DNA report by email. From that moment on you can always consult your results in your personal account on the website.

Your DNA doesn't change, just like the color of your eyes doesn't change. Your lifestyle can change, and this is what we evaluate when you take the lifestyle test.

No, your DNA remains unchanged throughout your life. So you don't have to do the test again.

No, a DNA test cannot detect specific skin allergies. You can do this by taking a patch test, as this is a test that examines immune responses. What we can do is investigate if you have a higher risk of sensitive skin or similar cases because we look at markers involved in the structure of the skin's structure. Your products can be adjusted accordingly.

Both are inextricably linked. The extent to which these factors have an adverse effect on your skin aging process is also determined by your DNA. You sometimes hear the phrase "that person has good genes" when someone looks good for her/his age. If you carry 'good genes', your DNA has fewer errors. It can, as it were, form a 'buffer' against external stressors (such as lifestyle factors). This means that the risk of skin aging is lower compared to anyone else. Note: This is of course provided there is no exaggeration. Even if your 'good genes' smoke every day, for example, it will affect your skin. Excess damage.... always! The opposite is also true: when you carry genetic defects, so-called 'mutations', you have a greater risk of accelerating skin aging because your skin is not as resistant to external stressors. If we had to put a number on it, it would be 60%-40%, although there is still a debate. The extent to which your lifestyle is decisive is also age-related.

The factors I have chosen on a genetic level can be divided into 4 major biological processes; properties that characterize healthy skin; ✓ hydration; ✓ Antioxidant capacity; ✓Elasticity and wrinkles; ✓ intact skin barrierWithin each biological process, we investigate the genes that contribute to and are responsible for these elements (eg the genes that are important in the hydration process). We then examine whether or not these genes have defects. If so, you carry a higher risk. It is up to the Nomige products to adjust these defects through specific ingredients.

The first results can be expected as soon as 3 weeks, but continue to improve. After 2 months you will already notice a firm structure, softer skin, less roughness, more even complexion, fresher look, less wrinkles (mainly around the eyes and mouth), ... Your skin will not become lazy and therefore you will continue to see the effect of the products feel on your skin.

No, the selected ingredients continue to stimulate your skin. Your skin does not become lazy or dependent on the products, because we do not interfere with your skin processes. We encourage and/or support them where necessary.

Nomige uses a range of ingredients with proven efficacy. We work with anti-oxidants, peptides, skunmicking ingredients, ... all of which are tested in clinical studies. All our ingredients are also safe and approved by the EU.

Your lifestyle cream (= day cream) contains organic UvA and UVB Sunfilters with minimal protection (SPF15) for every day. During the summer, your skin needs more protection. You can reapply your day cream or use an extra sunscreen on top of your day cream. We hope to switch to mineral sun filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) soon, these products are in full development.

Your Nomige products can be stored in a dry and cool place, unopened, for at least 1 year.

Nomige is all about personalization, which is a step beyond customization. This means that nomige's products are completely tailored to your needs and we do everything we can to get your skin in the best shape. We really go the extra mile for you and we guide you along the way by offering free virtual consultations.

After purchasing the exclusive nom package you will receive a DNA test. You will collect your saliva following the instructions below (instructions will be provided with your DNA kit): - Step 1: Avoid eating, drinking, smoking and brushing your teeth for at least 30 minutes before the start of the test. Wash hands thoroughly before starting the test.- Step 2: Twist and pull open the sterile tube. Be careful not to touch the tip of the swab with your fingers. Also avoid contact with other objects to prevent contamination.- Step 3: Collect your saliva by firmly twisting the tip of the cotton swab against the inside of your cheek for 1 minute. Then repeat this process on the other side. - Step 4: Immediately after collecting the saliva, place the Swab in the tube and make sure you hear a click. - Step 5: Place the tube back in the box and close it off. Use the Prepaid label to return your DNA kit.

Tighten the tube cap until you hear a click and just store it at room temperature.

Once the tube has clicked properly (with an audible click) you can store the sample for several months.

Cleaning once a day in the evening is more than sufficient. Evening cleansing is very important because your skin comes into contact with pollution, UV rays, dirt, etc. during the day. Keep in mind that too much cleansing is not good for your skin. It can damage your protective layer and skin microbiome (the good bacteria that live on your skin). So cleaning your face once a day (in the evening) is enough.

Use a damp cotton pad where you apply 2 to 3 pumps of your exfoliating tonic. This way your cotton pad will absorb less product and more of the tonic will be smeared onto your face. The amount of the active substances will also not be reduced by the addition of the water, so you do not have to worry about dilution effects.

You can perfectly combine the vitamin A with Nomige. You can also choose to use vitamin A in only 1 specific area (for example, around your mouth). Use the Nomige evening products as described in the rolls and apply vitamin A as the last step. You can also "take a break". Vitamin A can deplete the skin, especially when you are in its highest concentration. It is therefore not unwise to stop for a while and only use nome. For example, start using vitamin A in November as a remedy, for 3-4 months in winter. This can be perfectly combined with nomige (as described above). After this healing, you can stop taking vitamin A until it clears up again.

No, that is not necessary. The purpose of the tinted day cream is to give your skin a more even complexion and can therefore replace your foundation.

If you have sensitive skin, we recommend building up your routine slowly. We choose ingredients that should not provoke a reaction. Unfortunately, we are never 100% sure that this will not happen. If you have sensitive skin, we can guide you and give you a schedule to follow.

It takes some time for your skin to adjust to the new products. Your previous products probably worked differently, so your skin needs to get used to it. You can always apply a second pump or second layer if it feels more comfortable, or gradually reduce the amount. TIP: Mix DAY CREAM with ½ pump of hydration booster (night serum) or contact us if you have any concerns.

Don't panic. Your skin adapts to the new products. When you switch from rich, oily creams to numbs, your skin needs to 'detox' first. All toxins come out first, which can result in some bumps. This is a normal and natural reaction, but if you have any concerns please contact us. If necessary, we can always reformulate the products.

Yes absolutely! Granted, the packaging and pink colors might be a bit distracting, but the nomige works just as well for men.

Large pores are related to a number of things: - your skin structure changes (for example with aging) and loses its firmness, making the pores more visible - Genetic: you may have always had large pores and this is how your skin is structured - impurities: the more impurities, the more visible the pores. The sebum and dirt remain in it and this makes it more visible. A pore is not a muscle and therefore cannot be 'closed'. Don't trust products that claim to do that. Make sure your skin is thoroughly cleansed, so the pore will be less visible. By working with skin lasers on skin structure you can get an improvement. Ointments and cleansing allow you to work only on the impurities and the optical effect.

While we strive to develop formulas suitable for sensitive and allergic skin, it is not possible to offer a 100% guarantee. There are so many different allergens that it is almost impossible to take all of them into account. You can deduce from your DNA whether you are at risk for a (hyper)sensitivity, but it is not possible to determine which substances you react to or not.

No. Nomige analyzes genes that play a role in the skin aging process. We do not make diagnoses or provide therapeutic treatments. For the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, chronic acne, we advise you to contact a dermatologist.

The word Nomige is a phonetic game (a Verlan) that carries the syllables of 'genome'. Your genome is synonymous with your DNA, the DNA that serves as the basis for the products. And the logo is a stylized fingerprint that looks like a maze at the same time, symbolizing the search for the right product.

The idea arose on the one hand from a personal frustration, but also from an observation of a science. Personally I thought it is a long and difficult felling business looking for the right product. There are so many different brands and so many promises, I didn't know what or who to believe. Now I trust my DNA; It does not lie and is objective. It's also scientifically proven that every skin is unique, so why fall back on that arbitrary classification cation of oily, dry or combination skin?

The Nomige package is tailor-made. You will receive 4 personalized products based on your DNA and lifestyle. These products will last 3 to 4 months. The cost of the DNA analysis is included in the price. You only need to do this analysis once.

No, our products are not tested on animals.

The first step consists of a milky cleanser to remove makeup and dirt. The 2-in-1 cleanser can be used with or without water (on a cotton pad). The second step consists of an exfoliating tonic that removes dead skin cells. This mild enzymatic peel is suitable for all skin types and should be applied using a wet cotton pad.

If you clean properly at night, it won't get dirty. Wash your face with lukewarm/warm water, this will open up your pores and allow you to clean more thoroughly. If your cotton colors 'brown' in the morning, it is basically no more than oxidation of certain substances in your night cream. Oxidation is what you see when you leave an apple exposed to the air. It's inevitable, but you shouldn't see this as "dirty".

We are not purely organic or vegan. We use a variety of evidence-based ingredients, including natural ingredients. e.g. sunflower oil, daisy extract. But we are not vegan or organic.

Nomige does not have a separate eye cream. This is not necessary. All Nomige products are formulated so that they can be tolerated around the eyes. And if they're good for the delicate eye area, they'll definitely be good for the rest of your face. In addition, the ingredients in our products also promote microcirculation around the eyes and act on bags and dark circles.

It always takes a while before your skin wants new products. Not all products moisturize in the same way and some products make your skin "lazy". If you have used such products in the past, your skin will take some time to adjust. Because our products work differently. Here are some tips: - You can mix your previous product (if you have some leftovers) with a half pump of nomige for a few days or weeks. Fifty fifty. After a while you can skip the addition of other products and just use Nomige. - You can also add half a pump of your night serum to your day cream for extra hydration, as your night cream is a hydration booster. After a while you can stop adding the night serum.

It is possible that your eyes water a little. If you already have sensitive eyes, they can easily react to the sun filters in the day cream. TIP: Do not apply your day cream close to your eyes. If the problem doesn't seem to go away - please contact us.
