Have You Ever Noticed That Some People Age Faster?

There is no doubt that age is just a number. What truly reveals our youth is the spirit and the disposition to live life – whether at 30 or at 60 years old. However, have you noticed that some people seem to age faster than others?

What we are depends on what surrounds us: the environment, lifestyle, and daily habits we have. Whether we are exposed to stress peaks or have smoking habits, whether we have a nutritionally rich diet and good exercise practice, for example. The truth is that our body behaves differently in response to the different stimuli we experience. Naturally, when we talk about aging, all these factors are taken into account by a science that studies how all this affects our DNA – EPIGENETICS.

We are all born with a genetic code, which alone does not dictate what we will look like at 20, 40, or 60 years old. That is why epigenetics is so important! Epigenetics has a great impact on the characteristics we develop throughout life. The fact that it influences how some genes will be expressed or not can highlight or conceal something that is already present in our DNA. Let's look at the example of identical twins: both are born with the same genetic code, but over time they become increasingly different. This is because each one is affected by different external agents!

Epigenetics works like a switch, which can activate or deactivate certain genes linked to skin youth, shaping our appearance over time. All this happens without altering the genetic information, through DNA methylation that causes the silencing of such genes. In this way, we can consider it a reversible process.

We (still) cannot travel through time, but what would happen to skin aging if we could reverse these changes caused by epigenetics? Keep the youth genes active, reduce the marks of time...

What if we found a revolutionary cosmetic that could provide a more youthful-looking complexion?

After 15 years of research, Eucerin has discovered the answer...
