Detailed Description
The appearance of your skin is an excellent indicator of your overall health. Nutritional deficiencies can cause pale, sallow skin. Specific irritants or foods can cause an inflammatory response. And too much sun exposure leads to increased wrinkles and age spots.
This test identifies genetic variants that influence your skin health and appearance. Although you cannot change your genes, there are various other approaches to help the appearance of your skin.
This test will help you understand your unique genetic variation, allowing you to choose the skin care products and treatment options that are best for your skin.
