Skin Health

In my digital skin clinic, acne is the most common presentation among my clients. Having treated acne exclusively for the last four years both in 1:1 consultations and in my group program, there are five nutrients that I call on time and again.

When we last spoke, nutritionist and skin educator Jacinta Barbagallo was heading to northern Italy to support her brother competing in an international pizza competition before she settled in Bali for the winter. After the extended lockdowns in Melbourne during Covid-19, she relishes freedom.

“One of the greatest advantages of consulting 100 per cent online is that I can work from anywhere in the world and help clients worldwide,” Jacinta said.

Stress is one of the most common drivers of acne that I see in my clinic. In fact, the longer I am in practice, the more obvious it becomes that the root cause of acne often lies within the psychological and emotional health of the person.
