Skin care products are meant to modify the surface for esthetic or protective goals. The modification of the environment can enhance some biochemical properties. The understanding of the control of gene expression and epigenetics can lead to innovative concepts and products.
This 90-minute accredited training will describe genes, their structure, function and expression, with emphasis on constitutive genes and inducible ones. It will further describe the products of gene expression of genes; namely stress proteins (hsp) cytokines, receptors and enzymes and their involvement in the inflammatory process. The last module will focus on the biorhythms and the gender-linked differences in skin. Examples of possible epigenetic interventions in skin care will be provided.
