THE DEFINITION

Epigenetics: The heart of

youth mechanisms

Epigenetics defines the scientific study on how lifestyle and the environment can influence the aging process of your skin.

Research on epigenetics shows that our genes provide a blueprint for biological functions, yet it's our lifestyle choices that largely shape their expression.

THE RESEARCH

Unprecedented clinical study on more than 60

on more than 60 twins¹

At the origin was a clear and simple observation: despite having the same genetic make-up, the twins age differently.

The study has shown that epigenetics changes can dramatically increase signs of skin aging. This is what Clarins calls Epi-aging.

1

Adopt a Mediterranean diet

Nourish your skin, fortify your body's defences, balance hormones, and bolster your immune system. These are the benefits of eating seasonal, organic fruit and vegetables alongside lean proteins. A splash of olive oil not only enhances the flavours but also contributes to these vital health advantages.

2

Regular physical exercise

Reduce inflammation and cellular stress, and watch your life transform with just 30 to 45 minutes of physical activity, five days a week. This commitment to regular movement will enhance your overall well-being.

3

Stress management

Diminish stress hormones, achieve hormonal balance, and enhance gene health by managing stress through engaging with nature, listening to music, and reading. These serene escapes do more than soothe your mind, they’re scientifically validated to promote inner harmony and well-being.

4

Positive human interactions

Activate the genes that lead to longevity and enhance your life with the power of touch, which not only soothes the soul but also taps into our biological potential for a longer, healthier life. Evidence shows that regular massages and manual therapies unlock the beneficial aspects of our genetic makeup.

5

Live life with a positive attitude

Age better and stimulate your body's natural ability to repair, recover, and relax by being optimistic. The smiles and laughter do more than feel good, they kickstart a virtuous cycle within your body. Indulging in the simple joys of everyday life isn't just enjoyable, it positively affects our genes.

Epi-aging: definition and concept

Epi-aging is defined by Clarins as the acceleration of skin's aging process due to lifestyle and environmental factors such as UV exposure, pollution, and consumption of tobacco and alcohol.

Our research shows how these factors modify skin cell epigenetics, with a significant 44%² increase in DNA-binding chemical structures that deactivate essential genes.

The result is a pronounced appearance of the six signs of aging. Forehead lines, dullness, visible pores, uneven skin tone, nasolabial folds, and sagging skin (ptosis).

How does the Double Serum help fight the effects of epigenetics on your skin?

Clarins’ Research proves for the first time that it is possible to challenge the effects of epi-aging².

Through epigenetic studies, Clarins developed a cutting-edge technology called Epi-aging Defense, designed to target the signs of aging caused by lifestyle and environmental factors. Clarins’ Epi-aging Defense technology helps to reinforce your skin against aging accelerators of modern life. The organic Giant Provence Reed extract fights against the daily environmental skin damage.

This innovative formula is designed to boost the skin’s vital functions, fight the effects of aging and enhance the skin's barrier function.
