Anti-aging | SKINCARE DNA test
You feel this way again and again:
Lacking glow and think your skin is aging fast?
If the skin itches, flakes, reddens, or develops hives and pustules, there can be a variety of causes. Skin diseases, allergies, or intolerances are often the triggers, but certain nutrients and hormones also play a significant role.
It is suspected that even the gut flora has an impact on skin problems, as the microorganisms in the gut can influence skin health. Given these complex connections, the question arises:
Where should you start if skin problems occur and the exact cause is unclear?

Why take a DNA test for skin health & anti-aging?
A DNA test for skin health and anti-aging reveals your skin's genetic makeup and how quickly it ages. While traditional skin analyses only consider the current condition, a DNA test provides information about how your body produces collagen , how it repairs UV damage , your susceptibility to inflammation , and the effectiveness of your antioxidant defense system.
The mybody® DNA skin test analyzes relevant genes that determine whether you are prone to pigmentation spots, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, dry skin, or accelerated aging . Based on this information, you receive personalized recommendations for skincare, nutrition, nutrients, and lifestyle – tailored to your genetic predisposition.
This way you can take early countermeasures and develop an intelligent anti-aging strategy that truly suits your skin.
Causes of skin problems and premature skin aging
Skin problems and early signs of aging arise from a combination of genetics, lifestyle, and environment. Among the most common causes are UV radiation, oxidative stress, an unhealthy diet, stress, hormonal fluctuations, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and chronic inflammation. A compromised skin barrier or a deficiency in vitamins and minerals can also accelerate skin aging.
Genetics plays a crucial role: some people break down collagen faster, others have weaker antioxidant defenses or a higher susceptibility to inflammation. This explains why some skin types develop wrinkles earlier or react more sensitively to environmental factors.
A DNA test helps identify which causes are particularly relevant to you personally – and how you can positively influence them through diet, care and lifestyle.
Understanding skin aging in everyday life: The influence of nutrients and the environment
Skin aging begins much earlier than you might think – often as early as your mid-twenties. Numerous factors influence the aging process in everyday life: UV radiation damages collagen structures, air pollution promotes inflammation, and stress and lack of sleep impair regeneration. At the same time, a lack of nutrients such as vitamins D, C, and E, zinc, selenium, or omega-3 also has a negative impact on the skin because they support important repair and protective mechanisms.
If your body doesn't have enough antioxidant capacity, your skin ages faster: wrinkles, age spots, dryness, and loss of elasticity develop. Genetic factors also determine how strongly your body reacts to UV radiation and how well it produces collagen.
A sound understanding of these everyday influences – combined with DNA and blood values – allows you to tailor your skincare and nutrition precisely to your individual needs.
Improve your skin and anti-aging with a DNA test – easily from home.
With a DNA test for skin health, you can easily understand what care, nutrition, and nutrients your skin truly needs. You don't need to visit a clinic – simply collect the saliva sample at home, send it to the lab, and receive a detailed results report a few days later.
The test shows you how your body reacts to sun exposure, collagen breakdown, dehydration, sugar (glycation), or environmental factors. At the same time, you'll learn which active ingredients can be particularly helpful – for example, retinol, vitamin C, peptides, hyaluronic acid, or antioxidants.
Combined with an optional blood test that measures vitamin D, B vitamins, iron, omega-3, or zinc, you get a complete picture of your inner and outer skin health. This allows you to approach anti-aging in a smart and personalized way.
What consequences can nutrient deficiencies have on the skin?
A nutrient deficiency often first affects the skin – because skin cells regenerate quickly and require optimal nourishment for this process. A lack of vitamins or minerals can lead to dry skin, wrinkles, pigmentation disorders, a dull complexion, poor wound healing, or increased inflammation.
Vitamin C deficiency weakens collagen synthesis, vitamin D deficiency impairs cell regeneration, iron deficiency can cause pale skin, and a lack of omega-3 promotes dryness and inflammation. B vitamins are crucial for the skin barrier, while zinc and selenium have antioxidant properties and reduce inflammation.
Left untreated, such deficiencies can cause the skin to age faster and exacerbate existing skin problems. A blood test helps you detect these deficiencies early – before they become visible on your skin.
Why does my diet affect skin aging and my complexion?
Your diet is one of the most important factors for healthy, radiant skin. Vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and antioxidants support repair processes, cell protection, and hydration – thus contributing significantly to anti-aging.
A diet high in sugar promotes glycation, a process that damages collagen and elastin and accelerates wrinkle formation. Too little omega-3 can lead to dry skin, while antioxidants from fruits and vegetables neutralize free radicals and reduce UV damage.
At the same time, gut health and the microbiome influence how well you absorb nutrients. An unbalanced diet can lead to inflammation, which can manifest directly in the skin – for example, as redness, blemishes, or premature aging.
A personalized nutrition strategy, based on DNA and blood values, helps you support your skin from the inside out and make it look younger in the long term.
Understanding and effectively treating skin problems
Gut flora and skin health. Did you know that an imbalanced gut flora can contribute to skin problems like acne or eczema? An imbalance of gut bacteria affects the immune system and can promote inflammation. A targeted analysis of your gut flora allows you to take steps to improve both your gut and skin health.
Skin analysis: The key to personalized skincare. Every skin is unique. A professional skin analysis helps you identify your skin type and specific needs. Based on this, you can choose a skincare regimen that is perfectly tailored to you, effectively treating or preventing skin problems.
Vitamin D3 blood levels and their effect on the skin. Vitamin D3 plays a crucial role in skin health. A deficiency can lead to dry skin and an increased risk of infection. A simple blood test can determine your vitamin D3 level, allowing you to supplement as needed to minimize skin problems.
Skin type test: Understand your skin better. A skin type test allows you to identify your skin's specific characteristics. Whether dry, oily, or sensitive – with this knowledge, you can optimally adjust your skincare routine and prevent skin problems.
Create a skincare routine: Step by step to healthy skin. A personalized skincare routine is essential for healthy skin. By following the right sequence of cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting, you can reduce skin problems and give your complexion a new glow.
