04 Nov 2022 --- UK-based researchers may have found an answer to improve personalized approaches in skincare using interactive gene networks and cellular responses to ultraviolet rays (UVR) and oxidative stress.The research highlights that human characteristics such as variation in skin pigmentation can be attributed to “more than 125 genes involved in the synthesis of melanin.” The degree of pigment in the human body decides the skin’s color and the level of protection against UVR and photodamage.
