Epigenetics is a group of factors that interact with your DNA that determines how your genetic blue print is expressed. Nutrition, not just in what we eat but what we apply to the skin to also feed it, along with stress, sleep and other factors, all affect the genetic expression of the skin and therefore how your skin looks. Through epigenetic factors, parts of the DNA code are turned on or off and are allowed to be expressed fully, partially or not at all. The class will include consideration of the skin’s barrier function and its microbiome. Join Trish as she explores all these concepts offering wellness solutions but also looking at the latest cosmetic ingredients that can affect the cellular receptors and therefore the gene expression.
