Skin Sensitivity
Do you ever wonder why your skin becomes sensitive in the winter? Or why your skin breaks out in the heat? How about why you develop skin rash or rosacea after applying perfumes or skincare?
Genetic variations found in key genes can be responsible for the production of excessive inflammation. Often subtle, the signs include skin sensitivity, redness
and irritation.

The role of genetics
The regulation of inflammation and sensitivity problems are largely controlled by your genes.
Your genetic predispositions play a big role in determining the supply, or over-supply of inflammatory response. Key variations tested in this category can identify numerous over-reactive inflammatory mechanisms that cause skin irritations.





Acute Inflammation
Responsible for signalling the release of inflammatory proteins to help defend skin cells against invaders.
Internal Toxins Protection
Involved in efficiently detoxifying toxic compounds such as alcohol and cigarette smoke so that they can be safely metabolized and converted to water.
Dermal Sensitivity
Regulates the detoxification of Epoxides found in pollutions and chemicals into more water soluble compounds which can be safely broken down.

Skin Inflammation
Excessive inflammation is one of the most common themes in early onset skin aging. While it is a helpful response in the short term, if inflammation continues longer term, it can play a negative role.
Many of these redness and sensitivity issues are instigated by your bodies first primal defence – inflammation. A build up can lead to skin irritations, sensitivity to perfumed products, active skincare ingredients and general environmental pollution. These responses can manifest into redness, rashes and acne.
Collagen Balance
Genetic abnormalities can lead to an increased rate of collagen breakdown1.
Collagen Imbalance
Genetic abnormalities can lead to an increased rate of collagen breakdown1.

Normal Skin
Inflammation is helpful for protecting skin against external factors
Sensitive Skin
An oversupply of inflammation can cause skin to become overly sensitive.

About Inflammation
Sometimes the body can over compensate and release too many inflammatory proteins in response to an issue that required much less – as a result the body begins to over-react to anything and everything.
Soon the body begins to think that that perfume is a virus and that a skincare product is going to cause damage – this type of sensitivity is an issue as the trauma caused by a constant over supply of inflammation dramatically ages the skin.
For your skin, inflammation is the body’s short-term immune response for healing, and countering infection and invasion by foreign substances like germs, bacteria, allergens and toxins.

Chances are that having specific genetic variations in this category will leave you prone to redness and sensitivity. It may also indicate an increased risk of asthma, hayfever and allergies, each are related to an over-active inflammation response.



Your Skin
Without inflammation your skin would not have the ability to protect itself or heal. However being over protected can create heightened sensitivity issues.
