  • According to scientists, approximately 75 of
    skin ageing is due to external factors whilst
    around 25 is down to our genes. It was
    previously believed that we have no control over
    the genetic factors that cause the ageing of the
    our skin. New research has shown that external
    factors such as lifestyle and the environment
    have a huge effect on how well our genes can
    maintain healthy skin. This study of how external
    factors affect the genes is called Epigenetics
    and it has led to the discovery that, to a
    degree, we can actually influence the behaviour
    of our genes to achieve their optimal
    performance.

To get how this relates to our skin, we need to
understand the basics
  • Our cells make up our entire bodies, including
    our skin.
  • Skin cells produce proteins that are essential
    for the their function.
  • Using these proteins, the cells regenerate which
    is crucial for youthful skin.
  • Within each cell is our DNA The complete set of
    instructions that tell our cells what to do
  • Each individual instruction is called a gene.

Now heres the thing Our genes (or instructions)
can be silenced or activated due to certain
circumstances in life. So whether or not those
genes can get their message to our cells or not
can depend on factors like the environment, what
we eat and who we interact with among millions of
other things! For skin to be healthy and
youthful, our cells need to regenerate and for
that, they need to be good at producing proteins.
Put simply, our genes are the instructions for
creating these proteins and if they are not
readable by the cell, it wont be able to. When
this happens, the cell cant function
effectively, leading to the visible signs of skin
ageing.

The science of epigenetics
  • Whether a gene is active or not is controlled
    by a structure called the epigenome. This
    structure is made up of chemical (or
    epigenetic) tags, attached to the DNA that
    react to signals from the outside world. These
    reactions cause the epigenome to alter, switching
    our genes on or off. Although your DNA never
    changes, the genes functionality is effected. 
  • The term Epigenetics was born in 1942 and
    research into the topic has been evolving ever
    since most prominently into how it affects
    illness such as cancers and mental disorders.

Epigenetics and Skin Ageing
  • The influence of the epigenome in controlling our
    genes (and in turn, our skin cells) becomes
    stronger as we age but there is good news its
    effects are reversible. By reducing the negative
    epigenetic tags, we can switch on the dormant
    genes, making them successfully produce new
    proteins again. This drastically reduces the
    effects of ageing on the skin.
  • Germaine de Capuccini has recently developed an
    exclusive ingredient called Epigenol. Extracted
    from the Cannula flower, it is able to limit the
    negative modifications of the epigenome, allowing
    dormant genes to communicate effectively again.
    The cells can again produce youthful proteins,
    increasing cell function and therefore reducing
    the global signs of skin ageing.

Preventing Negative Epigenetic Alterations
  • This new research reveals how important our
    lifestyle choices are. We always knew that
    stress, diet, pollution and environmental factors
    are highly influential to the ageing process of
    our skin but now it is clear that these factors
    play an even bigger part as they have an
    intrinsic effect on our genes themselves.
