Objectives and competences
The Master in the Exposome and Skin offers students a holistic view of the factors that affect skin health, in order to provide an interdisciplinary perspective and with the aim of applying what they learn in their daily practice. The programme addresses the exposome from three dimensions: the environmental exposome, with factors such as photobiology and pollution; the individual exposome, understood as the impact of nutrition and mental health; and the social exposome, which encompasses the impact of cosmetics and lifestyle.
