DNA Tests For Skin Aging Experiment
I Took 3 Beauty DNA Tests — and the Results Were Scary Accurate
6
Within two and a half weeks, I had my results back — and, holy sh*t, were they extensive. In the 11-page (!) report were "genetic scores" for my skin across seven categories: collagen quality, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, skin elasticity, skin antioxidants, sun protection, and skin sensitivity. There was a lot of information to ingest, but if you want every single detail of your genetic traits explained — with pictures, flow charts, and the whole kaboodle — this is the test for you.
Oh, and you'll also get personalized recommendations on topical ingredients, supplements, and pro treatments that might work for you under each category. So while I may have been bummed (or perhaps "annoyed" might be more fitting) to learn that my collagen fiber formation was graded as less than ideal, I could rest assured knowing that I had approximately 13 treatment options — from using products with more vitamin C to microneedling — to choose from.
