This is a professional skin nutrition certification, not a beauty course
Because skin disorders and skin-ageing are not caused by a lack of collagen powder, vitamin supplements or the wrong moisturiser
Metabolic dysfunction
Inflammation
Hormonal signalling changes
Oxidative stress
Impaired autophagy
Glycation
Mitochondrial decline
Nutrient insufficiency
Accumulating cellular waste
Yet most skin-related nutrition education remains:
Superficial
Supplement-centric
Disconnected from real physiology
Heavily influenced by diet culture and trends
What makes this course fundamentally different from all other skin nutrition education?
🔬 It is mechanism-first
🧠 It integrates longevity science into skin health
🥗 It treats food as biological information
🎯 It teaches assessment before intervention

Explanation of food influence on our skin health, but not just the skin because we can copy and paste this knowledge on our whole body because mechanism is the same. It will be so much easier to help my own clients :)

With over two decades of experience spanning skincare formulation, cosmetic science and nutritional research, Star brings a rare ability to connect dermal biology, systemic physiology and nutrition science into a coherent, practitioner-ready framework.
Her work is driven by a deep understanding that skin health cannot be fully addressed through topical intervention alone. This perspective led to the development of one of the first internationally accredited professional programs dedicated to integrative nutridermatology® an approach that considers skin ageing, inflammation and dysfunction as interconnected biological processes.
Star is known for her ability to translate complex scientific concepts into clear, structured learning that empowers professionals to work with confidence, integrity and evidence-based clarity.
Nutridermatology® is an Emerging Field Supported by Research
The convergence of food and cosmetics in the beauty industry is a major trend in the recent years, gaining an enormous importance on consumer habits including the diet, the nutritional supplement intake and food-based cosmetics
The global market for nutricosmetics - digestible beauty products - is projected to reach $7.4 billion by 2020, driven by the 'beauty from within' trend.
Adults aged >45 years who consumed foods with high antioxidant capacity experienced approximately 10% less photoaging over 15 years than those who ate foods with low antioxidant capacity.

Are there any ongoing fees or software costs?
Yes. While there are no ongoing fees payable to us after enrolment, you will need to use 2 third-party tools to work efficiently and deliver professional-level client services.
1. Cronometer
You will need a Cronometer account to analyse client dietary intake. Cronometer offers a free version, which is suitable for basic use. However, for maximum efficiency and more advanced dietary analysis features, a Cronometer Pro account is recommended. You can view Cronometer Pro pricing here:
https://cronometer.com/pro/
2. Dietary Skin-Ageing Score (DSAS)
The Dietary Skin-Ageing Score (DSAS) is an advanced proprietary assessment tool developed and owned by us. It is delivered via specialist assessment software which securely hosts the tool and transforms client data into a comprehensive, practitioner-ready report.
To use DSAS at practitioner level — including access to the automatically generated, downloadable client PDF reports — you will need access to the professional business-level software plan used to run DSAS (currently $99 per month).
These PDFs are a core part of the professional workflow taught in the diploma and are where DSAS really shines. Each report is generated instantly and essentially writes itself, providing clients with a clear, personalised breakdown that includes:
-
Their overall Dietary Skin-Ageing Score
-
The ageing pathways most strongly activated for them
-
A clear explanation of each pathway, what it means, and why it matters
-
The client’s individual score for each pathway
-
Practical, nutrition-focused steps they can take to reduce their score and support healthier skin ageing
This allows you to deliver a highly polished, evidence-informed client report in minutes, while still maintaining full professional oversight and interpretation.
Access to the correct software plan and setup instructions (including use of our partner access link) are provided to students during the training.
NB: Prices are correct at time of writing.
Please note: This is a high-level precision nutrition service and should be priced accordingly. A minimum fee of $250 USD per client is recommended, covering an in-depth consultation, full dietary audit and analysis, and the client’s personalised Dietary Skin-Ageing report. At this level, a single client per month comfortably covers the software investment.

How will I use this Nutridermatology® knowledge with my own clients?
As many of our students come from non nutrition backgrounds, the Diploma includes an extensive library of licensed, ready to use educational materials that graduates may use with clients within a professional and legally appropriate framework.
These resources are designed to support practitioners in guiding clients towards nutritional strategies that promote healthy, resilient and rejuvenated skin without requiring a degree in Nutritional Medicine.
As with any client facing practice, graduates are responsible for understanding the legal and regulatory requirements of the country, state or locality in which they operate and for working strictly within their permitted scope of practice.
Is there a payment plan?
You can also choose the 'pay as you go' option with a 12 month payment plan
- Monthly payments required to maintain access
- Graduation only available once balance is cleared
- Certificate issued after final payment
On the payment form you need to select to pay using your credit card (this symbol ) then you'll see a dropdown box where you can select either:
- Pay once (pay in full)
- Payment plan (using your card
Please note that students won't be allowed to graduate while in debt to Skin Nutrition Institute so if you select a 12 month payment plan you'll need to take the full 12 months to study as you won't be allowed to finish before your payment plan does.
What course credits will I get?
