1. Skin Health Literacy
Life-long skin maintenance, nourishment, and enhancement lead to good skin health and general wellness across your lifetime. The goal for everyone should be life-long skin health.
The challenge: We need solutions to engage, educate, and empower individuals and communities to pursue a lifetime of healthy skin.
2. Nutrition and Skin Health
While we have long understood that there is a relationship between good nutrition and our health, we are still learning exactly how nutrition affects the overall health of our skin.
The challenge: We need solutions to better understand the relationship between food and skin health.
3. Engaging Acne
Most of us have had or will have acne at some point in our lives. In fact, the American Academy of Dermatology reports that 85% of all young adults experience at least minor acne.
The challenge: We need solutions that empower individuals to live well and own acne.
4. Skin HealthTech for the Aging Population
By 2020, the global population over 60 will reach 1 billion! Technology is playing a vital role for older adults and their caregivers.
The challenge: We need solutions that close the gaps in skin health and affordable in-home skin care for older adults.
