Dry, flaking, tight skin isn’t just uncomfortable it’s a sign that your skin barrier is compromised. When your barrier is weakened, everything feels worse: increased sensitivity, redness, irritation, and a complexion that looks dull no matter what you apply.

You might be layering on moisturisers with little relief, or dealing with the side effects of active treatments like tretinoin or Roaccutane that leave your skin feeling raw and vulnerable.

Understanding Barrier Impairment
Your skin barrier is your first line of defence against environmental stressors, irritants, and moisture loss. When it’s compromised whether from over-exfoliation, harsh products, medical treatments, or skin conditions like eczema your skin struggles to retain hydration and protect itself properly.
Peri-Oral Dermatitis
This increasingly recognised condition often appears as a rash around the mouth and in the nasolabial folds (the lines from nose to mouth). The affected areas may look red and flaky, causing significant discomfort.

Peri-oral dermatitis can be triggered by overuse of active ingredients like retinoids, certain toothpastes, or heavy moisturisers, though some people are simply more prone to developing it. The key to managing this condition is stripping back to gentle, barrier-supportive skincare while avoiding potential triggers.

Restoring Your Skin

Repairing a compromised barrier requires patience and the right approach. Treatments focus on strengthening the skin’s natural defences, reducing inflammation, and restoring hydration from within. With proper care, your skin can rebuild its protective function, leading to improved comfort, resilience, and a healthier appearance.

What Our Clients Say About Us

Nicoletta Vercuic

From the moment I walked in, she made me feel so comfortable and welcomed. She’s such a warm and kind person, and beyond that, she’s incredibly skilled at what she does. You can tell she truly loves her work, and it shows in the results.

Not only does she have hands of gold, but her presence itself adds to the whole experience. She’s professional, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about skincare.

Natasha Amish

She is not only knowledgeable, professional and experienced, but also caring, dedicated and genuinely invested in helping you achieve your skincare goals.

She truly understands the intricacies of skin health. I’m honestly so grateful for her expertise, skin care advice and treatment plans.

Her attention to detail and personalised approach has taken my skin to a whole new level. Aside from trusting her completely with my skin, it’s also just an absolute treat to see her.

Sue Russel

Jasmine was recommended to me and I thought I'd give her a try following the glowing review I'd received.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Firstly, Jasmine's facials are out of this world - my skin has never looked so glowing and fresh.
I love the fact that Jasmine tailor's her recommendations to a person’s lifestyle - there's no point in buying the creams if you're not going to use them, and Jasmine takes skin quality, lifestyle, as well as realistic expectations, into account.

Kelsey Roberts

When I first started seeing Jasmine, my skincare regime had been somewhat neglected, and this had started to take its toll. Jasmine carried out a full personal assessment to see exactly where I was at, and more importantly, where I wanted to get to. What I really liked about Jasmine’s approach, is that she took the time to find out was actually doable for me.
In the skincare world, there seems to be a lot of overselling; however, Jasmine has only ever recommended me things that I really need, and which would be of benefit to me, and that is very rare these days.

Since seeing Jasmine, my skin has improved well beyond my expectations. This may sound like a cliché, but not many weeks go by where someone doesn’t comment on my skin and tell me that I am glowing!

I can happily say that I would not dream of going to see anyone else.
