FNCE 2021® Learning Lounge: Does Diet Matter in Adult Acne?

Growing evidence suggests that diet may influence the incidence and severity of acne, one of the most common skin conditions in the United States. Despite this, our understanding of the diet-acne link is still evolving, and some uncertainty remains. This talk will review some of the recent diet-acne research and the challenges in translating the diet-acne hypotheses into clinical practice. Jennifer Burris PhD, RD, CSSD, CNSC, CDCES is a Registered Dietitian and part-time faculty in Nutrition at California State University Channel Islands (Calabasas, CA), and Saddleback College (Mission Viejo, Calif.). Jennifer’s research focuses on the integrated role of nutrition, physical activity, and chronic skin disease, particularly acne, to promote patient wellness.
