THE DEFINITION

Epigenetics: The new science of

how our lifestyle and environment impact the way we age

Research on epigenetics shows that our genes provide a blueprint for biological functions, yet it is our lifestyle choices and exposure to environmental aggressors that largely shape their expression.

THE RESEARCH

Unprecedented clinical study on 62

Twins visual to illustrate Epigenetics and Clarins studies over more than 60 twins

At the origin of our study was a clear and simple observation: despite having the same genetic make-up, the twins are aging differently.

The study has shown that epigenetic changes can dramatically increase signs of skin aging—an occurrence Clarins calls Epi-Aging.

Through this study, Clarins sheds light on how aging extends beyond our genetic code.

Adopt a Mediterranean diet

Nourish your skin, fortify your body's defenses, help balance hormones, and bolster your immune system. These are the benefits of eating seasonal, organic, “living foods” such as fruit and raw vegetables—soya, nuts, seeds— alongside lean proteins, like oily fish which are loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. A splash of olive oil not only enhances the flavors, but also contributes to these vital health advantages.

2

Regular and sustained physical activity

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

Strive for a serene and balanced lifestyle. To help diminish stress hormones, achieve hormonal balance, and enhance gene health— managing stress by engaging with nature, listening to music, and reading. These relaxing escapes do more than soothe your mind—they are scientifically proven to promote inner harmony and well-being.

4

Physical and sensory contact

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.

Live life with a positive attitude

Surround yourself with happy people, because optimism and happiness are contagious and help us to age better—enhancing our body's natural ability to repair, recover, and relax. 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.

Learn about Clarins’ Epi-Aging Defense Technology, and how NEW Double Serum helps combat the effects of epigenetics on the skin.

What is Epi-Aging?

Clarins defines epi-aging as the acceleration of skin's natural aging process due to lifestyle and environmental factors such as UV exposure, pollution, poor diet, lack of exercise and sleep.


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