PROVO, Utah—Research from Nu Skin Enterprises Inc. correlates the apparent age in Japanese women with internal oxidative damage, supporting the idea that one’s visible appearance is an indicator of biological age. Helen Knaggs, Ph.D., vice president of Nu Skin global R&D presented selected findings at both the European Society for Dermatological Research (ESDR) conference in Helsinki, Finland, and the Society of Investigative Dermatology (SID) conference in Atlanta.
“Different ethnicities have different skin care concerns as they age,” Knaggs said. “We wanted to know whether in a population known for more graceful skin aging, such as Japanese women, we could also correlate visible aging with internal sources of aging. The answer is yes, and even more importantly it also underscores the universal impact of internal health on outward appearance.”
