Write your awesome label here.

Sun damage is the leading cause of premature skin ageing.

Wrinkles, pigmentation and collagen breakdown are not just cosmetic concerns, they are the visible result of chronic UV-induced oxidative stress and inflammation.

Clients increasingly want integrative solutions that go deeper than skincare products and aesthetic treatments. They’re seeking professionals who can address sun ageing at its root cause — through plant-based nutrition.

This course empowers you to prevent, treat and reverse UV-induced skin damage with evidence-based dietary strategies, giving you a professional edge in a growing market.

Who This Course Is For

  • Nutritionists & Dietitians – seeking specialization in skin ageing & sun damage.
  • Aestheticians & Skin Therapists – looking to integrate nutrition into treatments.
  • Dermatologists & Medical Aesthetics Practitioners – adding nutritional protocols to amplify clinical outcomes.
  • Wellness Professionals & Corporate Health Providers – addressing skin health in high-exposure populations.

What you will learn...

☀️ The new scientific concept of 'dietary sunscreen' so you have a depth of understanding that most practitioners lack.

☀️ The cellular science of UV-ageing and photodamage.

☀️ How phytonutrients — carotenoids, flavonoids, polyphenols, isoflavones — protect, repair, and rejuvenate skin

☀️ Deep hydration helps the skin to resist further UV-damage and skin-ageing, so you'll learn the advanced science on deep-cell hydration for skin-health and sun-protection 

☀️ Sun damage destroys collagen so you'll learn how to prevent more collagen loss and how to boost collagen production in the skin with functional foods so your clients can see the difference.

☀️ Designing functional phytonutrition protocols for sun-damage repair.

I loved this course because it truly made me excited to begin incorporating skin nutrition into my esthetics business.

TRUC Trinh
The course was in detail and covered all topics about nutrition to help my business grow.
Grishma Solanki
This course is easy to follow, but rich in content. I learned so much about what is in different foods and how they affect the skin. The lessons are in words I easily understand and can translate to truly using in my practice
MELISSA BERRY
So informative and evidence-based! 
Elona Dahary
I loved the course because it made me look at what I was eating and have a clear understanding of what I should be eating and why. I don’t want to be a diet nutritionist. Skin is my thing, so the information in this course is fantastic on knowledge for ageing well.
Debbi Cronin

 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
