From personal experience, you already know how long you can stay in the sun without getting sunburned.
However, more distant and disappointing effects may await you ahead: prematurely aged skin as a result of photoaging. According to the latest research, photoaging increases the visual age by 20 years on average!!!
The photoaging risk group includes people with a genetic predisposition to this process.
Photoaging is a complex process of skin damage due to solar or other ultraviolet radiation, as well as radiation from blue or infrared light.
Photoaging includes: increased skin pigmentation (hyperpigmentation — the appearance of pigment spots due to local melanin accumulation); loss of skin transparency; decreased elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles and deep lines; the dilation of small blood skin vessels and other undesirable manifestations.
Hyperpigmentation is of primary importance in the manifestation of photoaging. Do you have freckles? This is also hyperpigmentation.
Based on data obtained as a result of major scientific studies, we analyze the polymorphism of genes that determine the development of photoaging and hyperpigmentation.
Genetic testing is performed using RT-PCR. The material for the study is buccal epithelium (the surface layer of cells from the inner part of the cheek) collected with a sterile cotton swab.
Based on the testing results, your cosmetologist will help you choose the sunscreens that are necessary for your skin, as well as the best procedures for taking gentle care of it.
