DNA REPAIR
DNA repair enzymes, stem cells and growth
factors have more recently become a hot topic
in many research sectors. A study of DNA repair
was even awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry
in 2015.
The future of anti-ageing, especially in terms
of skincare products, is looking towards ‘gene
creams’ that address the skin’s deeper biological
concerns: DNA damage and stem cell stimulation.
DNA repair enzymes are particularly exciting.
They seek out and then repair damaged DNA
from UV damage, pollutants and ageing. This
leads to healthier, less damaged skin, which
aesthetically means less brown spots, wrinkles
and dullness since those all tend to be signs of
DNA damage.

SUNSCREEN
(the single-most
important
skincare product)
Yes, that’s right people, sunscreen tops the list! They
are, first and foremost, products to help prevent
damage and extrinsic ageing of the skin. Given that
UV light is the fundamental basis of environmental
ageing (and hands-down the most damaging
element to human skin), zinc oxide used in a broadspectrum
sunblock should be your number-one
skincare ingredient, protecting you against the
harmful rays of the sun. Look for sunscreens that
have both physical and chemical blockers plus
antioxidants.
