About the Anti-Ageing Certificate

Anti-ageing, or life extension medicine is something that civilisations have been fascinated with throughout history. From the Egyptian Medical Papyrus, through to Ayurveda practitioners, alchemists and philosophers, society has been captivated by ageing and the science of life extension. The modern age beauty industry offers numerous solutions for ageing in the form of skin care, hormone replacement therapy and supplements. This distance learning course takes a closer look at notions of skin care, anti-ageing nutrition, exercise, vitamins and minerals, herbology and aromatherapy.

Created by a health and beauty therapist with over 25 years’ experience in the field of nutrition, herbs and essential oils, this course uses the latest scientific research on anti-ageing strategies, nutrition and skin care.
