REWRITING FATE: How epigenetics is challenging everything we thought we knew about skin ageing
By Sitha Maliwa:
For generations, we accepted it as truth: our skin, like the rest of our bodies, would follow a path carved by genetics; an invisible script written before birth. Some would age gracefully, others prematurely, but the outcome, we believed, was inevitable until now.
A quiet revolution is unfolding in the world of science - and it’s turning that old belief on its head. At its core is epigenetics, a field that’s revealing a powerful truth: you are not entirely at the mercy of your genes. In fact, your daily choices - what you eat, how you sleep, the stress you carry, the air you breathe - can literally change how your skin behaves as it ages.
