Q Though good skin comes with genetics, does regular skincare help boost skin health?

A As per the new research and studies, genetics only accounts for 50 per cent of what your skin looks like. The remaining 50 per cent of how your skin looks and ages has to do with your exposome that pretty much relates to your lifestyle. It’s the environment that you live in, your diet, stress levels, UV exposure and the amount of pollution that you’re exposed to. So we do have a lot of control over the way the skin changes and ages. It is scientifically proven that regular skincare boosts your skin health. It means cleaning your skin, using an SPF, serums and exfoliating the skin is absolutely essential for healthy skin.
