Watch the environment

Our skin reflects two major influences – our unique genetic makeup and the environment we live in. Once we know your DNA inside out, we can provide you with a complete list of both genetic and environmental influences that can, sooner or later, lead to skin-related problems.

Reports included in this DNA test:

  • 01

    Atopic dermatitis

    Allergic eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a chronic allergic skin condition that tends to start in early childhood and is up to 75% inherited. If you have eczema, take this test to discover whether your itchy skin is inherited or is down to your lifestyle. In this report, we will test your DNA for variations linked to impaired skin barrier, and allergies (including the IL13 gene, which is implicated in allergic asthma). We’ll help you to choose the best diet, and lifestyle measures to reduce the chances of your allergies deepening into hay fever and asthma.

    You might also be interested in taking our Nutri test too – to rule out any food sensitivities – which tend to run alongside eczema.

    Irritant contact dermatitis

    Contact dermatitis is when you skin comes in contact with something that provokes itching. If the substance only affects the top layer of skin, that’s called irritant contact dermatitis. And if you get a delayed immune response with antibodies, that’s called allergic contact dermatitis.

    In this report, we will test your genetic risk of developing irritant contact dermatitis. We test for variations in the FLG gene – linked to being literally thin-skinned

    Psoriasis

    In this autoimmune problem, your skin cells proliferate too quickly forming red, scaly patches that itch. Underneath the patches, the skin is raw and sensitive and easily bleeds. Psoriasis is between 60% and 90% inherited. And it often flares up as a result of environmental triggers, such as stress, smoking, or changes in hormone levels.

    Take our DNA test to discover whether you’ve got the genes for psoriasis, and to receive our suggestions on the most appropriate treatments, diet, and lifestyle to support your skin.

    Rosacea

    If you get flushing with visible veins on your cheeks and nose after you sunbathe, drink alcohol or eat certain foods – it could be rosacea (roe-ZAY-she-uh). Rosacea affects about one in ten people in Northern Europe, especially the fair-skinned. This condition is 50% inherited – the PP type of rosacea – with small, red, pus-filled bumps – runs in families. Inherited rosacea is linked to autoimmune problems, such as type 1 diabetes, celiac disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

    The cause is not clear, but is linked to enflamed sensory nerves, and to menopausal hot flushes. Your risk increases in line with UV exposure, age and having a less than healthy microbiome (gut flora). In this report, we’ll test your genetic tendency to vasodilation, and suggest ways to protect the delicate blood vessels on your face.

    Vitiligo

    With this distressing condition, white patches appear on your face, neck, hands and legs. Although only about 0.2% of the population has vitiligo, more women than men have it and it’s most common in Africans. Vitiligo is up to 72% inherited, and is linked to other autoimmune diseases – such as psoriasis, type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.

    Take this DNA test to discover your genetic risk, and follow our lifestyle advice to both protect and nourish your skin, while supporting your overactive immune system.

    Keloid scars

    Should you get your tattoo removed or could the laser leave you with a big scar? If you’re having surgery, how big will your scar be? Answer these questions and more by checking your DNA. Keloids are scars that becomes thick, lumpy, raised and larger than the original wound. They happen because the skin produces too much collagen. Anyone can get a keloid scar, but they must have the genes for it.

    We will test your DNA for several genes linked to keloid scarring – which is mostly seen in people with dark skin. Africans have a 4.5% -16% chance of forming keloid scars. We’ll also give tips on how to care for scars to reduce the chance of them developing into keloids, and how to care for any existing keloids.

    Varicose veins

    About three in 10 adults have tell-tale bluish bumpy and twisted veins on their calves and feet. Varicose veins tend to run in families, but scientists aren’t sure why. In this report we will test three of your genes linked to the elasticity, dilation, and chronic disease of the veins. And we’ll suggest personalised strategies for dealing with painful and unsightly varicose veins.

    Alopecia androgenetica

    For men only: While it’s often the butt of jokes, progressive hair loss from the scalp – often in circular or patchy bald spots – is a serious business. Male pattern baldness linked to prostate disease and heart disease, and it’s about 50% inherited. In this comprehensive report we will test your DNA for 75 genes that affect your risk of going bald Are you at risk? Catch male pattern baldness early and you will maximise the effectiveness of treatments.

    Acne

    While diet and stress are often blamed for acne breakouts, research shows that over 80% of acne is linked to your genes. But it takes our modern lifestyles to switch these genes on. In this report we will check your DNA for 46 relevant genes to determine your overall genetic risk of acne. Although up to 90% of people leading Western lifestyles have at some point experienced acne, it’s much rarer in non-industrialised countries where people live closer to nature.

    If you’re at high genetic risk, we’ll advise you on ways to curb sebum production. Conversely if modern life is the main culprit, we’ll suggest other tactics according to your lifestyle and situation.
