09 Feb Skincare Review, Ingredients, Swatches, Trend 2017, 2018: New Insights Into ‘Nature vs Nurture’, The Great Skin Aging Debate, Olay Regenerist, Luminous, Total Effects
Following their earlier discovery of a unique gene activity fingerprint in the 10% of women who look 10 years younger than their chronological age, Olay partnered with personal genetics company 23andMe to understand the correlation at an entirely new level. Was there one? Is skin aging really about good genes and how much control can women truly have?
It turns out, when it comes to youthful-looking skin, nurture is even more important than nature. Having “good” skin is very much in our control! More specifically, studying these women and the unique gene activity fingerprint revealed two things:
Several lifestyle factors are associated with exceptionally younger-looking skin, including: sunbathing frequency, sunscreen usage and dry skin frequency, demonstrating once more the tremendous impact our behaviors have on skin aging. Some key skincare ingredients enable skin cells to act younger than one’s chronological age.
From Ron Robinson, Cosmetic Chemist and Founder of BeautyStat.com: “Given the insight that we really do have the power of changing the destiny of our skin, Olay has upgraded their entire Regenerist, Luminous and Total Effects with new and or boosted ingredients with clinical results that show they deliver key benefits.”
With these findings in mind, Olay re-engineered the brand’s formulas that with ingredients to help skin cells “act” younger. In fact, after a recent clinical study, women saw visible results in just 28 days. In today’s world, where scientific advances are helping women know as much as possible about their skin, Olay continues to understand women’s attitudes and needs to help them look ageless.
