. Why should skin care practitioners learn more about nutrition
and preventative health care?
Better results
for clients are achieved by treating the whole individual
– internally and externally
Modern research continues to reveal new
information on the effects of nutrition and lifestyle on
the aging process
The esthetic and medical fields, working
more closely together than ever before, have therefore begun
to undertake a more holistic approach towards skin care
as a whole
In order to effectively assess and address

thus fast becoming a new and essential responsibility for
the modern skin care therapist
