My Skin DNA Test: The Good
My Skin DNA Test: The Good When my report arrived in my email inbox, I couldn't wait to open it. The results were broken down in 11 pages.

The good news: I dominated in the category of skin antioxidants. Apparently my body rocks at scavenging free radicals to protect my skin from oxidative damage. My genes also show that I'm relatively immune to irritation from pollution.

I also fared pretty well in the category of pigmentation; my report tells me I have only a partially increased risk of skin discoloration and freckling. I'm well above the global average here.
