Hvad er dette kursus:
The Hormonal Skin – How Hormones and the Microbiome Shape Skin Health Through Life is an online course that explains how hormonal fluctuations and microbiome shifts influence skin function and common skin concerns across life stages.
The course focuses on practical clinical application—helping you assess patterns, reduce guesswork in planning, and tailor recommendations to what the skin is likely doing in that phase of life.
Hvem er dette kursus for?
This course is designed for practitioners working with clients across different age groups who want a clearer, more structured approach to hormone-influenced skin presentation and planning, including:
- Skin therapists and skincare professionals
- Nurses and other aesthetic/clinical practitioners involved in skin consultations
- Practitioners seeing clients with recurring or phase-linked concerns (e.g., acne, dryness, sensitivity, ageing changes)
Hvad dette kursus giver dig
- A structured way to link life stage + symptom timing to likely skin behaviour
- A practical framework for consultation questions, pattern recognition, and planning
- Clinically relevant insight into how hormones and the microbiome interact with barrier function
- Guidance that supports safer, more tolerable treatment and product decisions—especially in reactive skin
Hvorfor dette kursus er vigtigt
Many clients present with skin changes that track to puberty, menstrual cycling, pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause, or broader hormonal imbalance.
Without a clear framework, treatment plans can become inconsistent—either too generic, too aggressive for a compromised barrier, or not adapted to the client’s current hormonal context.
This course helps practitioners build a more precise, phase-aware approach that supports better decision-making and more stable outcomes.
