It is probably almost as old as mankind itself: the desire to grow as old as possible while still possessing the vitality and appearance of a young person.

So far, however, this eternal “fountain of youth” remains only a dream. One thing, though, is now within reach: What if our skin could once again look visibly younger than our birth certificate indicates?

We can do more than we may think. For a long time it has been assumed that how our skin ages is genetically predetermined.

But with the findings in the field of epigenetics, this assumption has been permanently disproved.
