How your DNA affects your skin?

By examining your DNA we can gain more insight into your skin health & aging process. In the lab we analyze various genes involved in collagen metabolism, antioxidant protection, barrier function and skin hydration

Collagen

Collagen is responsible for the firmness of your skin. Collagen breakdown leads to loss of structure and firmness of the skin. We investigate matrix metalloproteinases (MMP1, MMP-3) that break down your collagen. If your MMP genes exhibit single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) or 'mutations', they are 'overactive' and break down collagen faster than we expect. This results in the risk of accelerated aging, scarring, redness, poor wound healing, etc.
Antioxidants

Tissue damage caused by free radicals is one of the main causes of accelerated skin aging. Free radicals are formed by external stressors, such as tobacco, pollution or exposure to UV radiation. We have a natural 'built-in' protection mechanism called 'antioxidants' that can neutralize free radicals before they cause damage. If this defense mechanism does not function properly, traces of skin aging will become more visible due to SNPs ('mutations'). Nomige investigates how well your defense mechanism works by detecting mutations in antioxidant genes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD-2) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX). You will gain insight into your risks of (sun) damage, or even pigment spots.
Hydration & barrier

Your skin barrier has a double function. It protects you from external damage and prevents dehydration. A disrupted skin barrier results in sensitive and often dry or dehydrated skin. We investigate whether you have SNPs (mutations) in the genes that help keep the skin barrier intact and help regulate moisture balance; called Fillagrin (FLG) and Aquaporin-3 (AQ3). You will understand if and why your skin is dry and/or dehydrated and whether your sensitive skin has a genetic cause.

Why DNA-based skincare?

60% of your skin profile is genetically determined

Your skin condition is 60% determined by your DNA. The other 40% is determined by your lifestyle. Your DNA makes you who you are. It doesn't just tell you what your skin needs. It also gives you more insight into your skin aging process. Your DNA does not lie and remains unchanged. Using a Do It Yourself DNA kit, we examine your DNA in a certified laboratory and determine your genetic skin profile. Based on the DNA test and Lifestyle Test, we formulate personalized products that provide a complete treatment for your skin. Each Nomige product focuses on the specific needs of your skin.
