Allied Skin-Health Professionals
As an allied practitioner in the esthetic or holistic skincare arts, you'll love adding Nutridermatology® to your business
Star Khechara
Skincare formulator and beauty author turned skin-nutrition researcher, Star distilled her 20+ years of skin-health knowledge into the world’s first international accredited school to educate estheticians, dermatologists and allied skin-health practitioners in the emerging science of skin-nutrition, integrative skin health and nutridermatology®
During my work as a skincare formulator I noticed that so many cosmetic ingredients were foods or food extracts, I realised that the power to beautify, treat and rejuvenate the skin was in diet, nutrition and food...not skincare products

How will I use this Nutridermatology® knowledge with my own clients?
In many countries (especially many states in America) only a Registered Dietician, Registered Nutritionist or Doctor can give PERSONALISED nutrition advice.
The trick is in the word: personalised
Because most of our students are from a non-nutrition background we've created a VAST collection of licensed materials for our graduates to use with their own clients without breaking the law
This means you can help your client eat their way to healthy, rejuvenated and healed skin without needing a degree in Nutritional Medicine.
As with any client-facing service it is up to you to know the laws of the country, state or city that you practice in and to work only within your scope of practice
