A 'younger gene' has been identified by scientists with black people twice as likely to have it than their white counterparts.
Harvard scientists led a study involving almost one million people with private genetic database 23andMe and found one in ten white and a fifth of black Americans carry the 'genetic recipe' for youthful skin.
Researchers believe its presence can result in people looking up to 10 years younger than they actually are.
The findings are being presented this week at the World Congress of Dermatology in Vancouver, Canada, The Sunday Times reports.
The genes fit into seven categories that affect areas such as DNA repair and the performance of the skin's barrier against damaging environmental factors.
