Hi ladies,
yes~ you read that right. Have you ever heard of taking care of your skin based on your DNA?
I didn't until Beautti Slim contacted me to test our one of their latest service, Innergene skin test solution kit.
Beautti Slim is a Spa company located at Takashimaya, Tiong Bahru and HarbourFront Centre; and has been around in Singapore for 13 years, offering a comprehensive range of beauty and slimming treatments.
As the sole distributor in Singapore, they have recently launched the Innergene skin test solution kit, a genetic test which allows you to know how your skin will age even before you start seeing the signs and recommend the most scientifically matched skin care products tailored to your DNA!
This Innergene skin test solution kit will allow you to uncover your inner skin secrets and prevent premature ageing in the following 3 steps:
- Collection of DNA through cheek swabbing method and posting your DNA sample to their laboratory located in Australia for processing.
- Receive your personalised Innergene report and uncover what your DNA reveals about your skin.
- Start using scientifically selected skin care ingredient recommendations based on your Innergene results.
Focused on internal beauty, this Innergene skin test solution kit aims to identify your DNA through the test to provide a definite proof of what's going on with your skin with 16 genetic markers (SNPs) in 5 categories associated with skin ageing.
Firmness + Elasticity
Are you genetically predisposed to premature wrinkling?
Wrinkling (A.G.E.)
Contributes to damaged skin through a process called Glycation
Sun Damage + Pigmentation
How well are you intrinsically protected from the sun?
Free Radical Damage
Are you genetically protected against free radical vulnerability?
Sensitivity + Inflammation
How well are your genes protecting you against irritation?
STEPS
Taking the Genetic Test
Taking the Genetic Test is really easy; a sample will be taken from the inside of your cheek with their easy-to-use DNA Collector. The sample is then analysed at the accredited lab and the key genetic markers will be located and an analysis is conducted where they will identify the presence of a variation in each marker.
Review the data analysed
After the data is analysed, a user-friendly report is tailored to the end-user based on the proprietary DG-Theorem™ statistical algorithm (The skin professional is also trained specially to help interpret your test results).Your Genetic Test Results are presented with a list of key supplement ingredients and recommended skin care product designed for your gene type, that you should focus on in each of the 5 categories.
Understand and adjust your skin care regime
The analysed data report allows you to understand the future skin development with the knowledge of the products effectiveness and the benefits it’s going to have on their skin. The skincare professional will guide and share with you how to obtain the maximum benefit and experience of the Genetic Test. There is no need to retake the Genetic Test once it's done because your DNA is the same throughout your entire life. This is a once in a lifetime investment that will ensure you never waste a single cent again on products and treatments.

QUICK BREAKDOWN
OF BEAUTTI SLIM'S MAGICPOT TREATMENT
STEPS
Cleansing & Exfoliatation
A tea tree based cleanser was used to remove my light makeup, and double cleanse.
After that, a gentle chemical scrub was applied by brush on the face and neck, because treatment has suction and heat so the therapist had to take care not to over-exfoliate my skin. It was left on my skin for 5 mins and wiped off with a wet cloth and a swipe of toner was used to remove any excess.
Application of Q10 Cream
The Q10 cream is applied with a brush, and was applied to half of my face. There was a slight tingling sensation upon application.
Magicpot Treatment
1. Detoxification
Heat with slight tapping and suction sensation
2. Build collagen
Slight suction and pulsing with rapid suction sensation that slows down as the session progress
3. Firming
Suction sensation with pressure
4. Blue light
Blue light gives a calming effect on the skin with Radiofrequency technology
Mask
Once the treatment was done, the therapist wiped away cream and laid a hydrating sheet mask over my face leaving it on for a good 10 minutes before it was wiped off and I was done with the whole session.
VERDICT
Duration: Around 45minsOverall Ambience: Dark rooms with dim lights and Soft Classical music
Benefits:
Rejuvenate and aid in collagen renewal on the epidermis layers of skin
Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and evens out skin tone
Helps to reduce black spots, increase elasticity and decrease pore size
Service:
The therapist left the door ajar while going in and out of the room. I personally feel that it's important and polite to take note that the privacy of the clients are important so perhaps this is something that Beautti Slim should take note too. Another thing that I noted was during the application of the Q10 cream, the therapist did multiple dips into the cream container after applying the cream onto my face. I would prefer if it is more hygienic. That being said, I like that there was a sink in the room so that you know that the cloth is washed and wrung out clean each time it is used to wipe off any product from the skin.
Overall Conclusion:
I'm not entirely sure if Magicpot Treatment was effective as I didn't notice any changes to the condition of my skin. But I enjoyed the process of using the Innergene skin test solution kit to find out what's my DNA and the flaws in my genes that would age me in time. Considering that it is a test that I'll only need to invest once in my life, it's not that bad of a novel thing to do!
