Epigenetic changes can affect the skin barrier by influencing the expression of genes involved in maintaining skin integrity and function. For example, epigenetic modifications can impact the production of proteins like filaggrin, which plays a crucial role in forming the skin barrier.

Disruptions in epigenetic regulation can lead to a compromised skin barrier, making the skin more susceptible to damage, dehydration, and inflammation. It’s essential to protect and support your skin barrier.

Epigenetic changes can impact gene expression and cellular function, leading to changes in skin structure, elasticity, and overall appearance. Factors such as UV exposure, pollution, and lifestyle choices can influence epigenetic modifications that contribute to skin aging.
