Nutritional Dermatology and Skin Health

Nutritional Dermatology explores the vital connection between diet, nutrition, and skin health, emphasizing how nutritional status profoundly influences the skin’s structure, function, and appearance. The skin, being a metabolically active organ, relies on an adequate supply of essential nutrients—vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fatty acids—to maintain its integrity, protect against environmental damage, and support regeneration.

Deficiencies or imbalances in nutrition can contribute to a wide spectrum of dermatological conditions, including premature aging, acne, eczema, psoriasis, and impaired wound healing. Conversely, a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, phytonutrients, and omega fatty acids has been shown to enhance skin barrier function, reduce inflammation, and promote a youthful complexion.

This session on Nutritional Dermatology and Skin Health will focus on the scientific interplay between diet and dermatologic wellness. Experts will discuss the role of micronutrients, nutraceuticals, and dietary interventions in managing various skin disorders and improving overall skin vitality. The session will also highlight advances in nutritional therapeutics, personalized nutrition, and integrative dermatology approaches that combine clinical and dietary strategies for holistic skin care.
