ABOUT JADE

A PERSONALISED APPROACH TO SKIN HEALTH

I’m Jade, a qualified skin therapist with over 17 years of experience, specialising in skin health through a corneotherapy approach.

My focus is on working with your skin, not against it. Focusing on repairing, strengthening and maintaining its natural barrier for long-term results.

From advanced skin treatments to specialised waxing (including pregnancy-safe services), every treatment is designed with care, precision, and your overall wellbeing in mind.

As a mum of two, I’ve created a space that feels welcoming, supportive, and real. A place where you can prioritise yourself, even with little ones in tow.

A little reminder from your waxing therapist 🙋🏽‍♀️
There’s absolutely nothing to feel embarrassed about here.

Come as you are, book the wax and stay for the chats 😂✨

I've been away for the past couple of days in Australia spending time with my incredible 91 year young nana. 🤍

She is the reason I am creative, and without even realising it, she's the reason I found my way into the industry I'm in today.

From as young as I can remember, she was teaching me to sew, bake, craft and create alongside her. She has a talent for making just about anything, and she taught me to think outside the box, use my imagination, and never be afraid to try something new.

Looking back now, I realise just how much she has shaped the person I am today. Some people leave a mark on your life without ever truly knowing it, and she will always be one of those people for me.

I'm so grateful for every moment we get together. 🤍

Ingredient check time 🔍

Next up in our ingredient series: Mineral Oil.

Often used to create an immediate feeling of softness, mineral oil is a common ingredient in many skincare products. But does temporary softness equal long-term skin health?

Swipe through to learn why corneotherapy takes a different approach and why supporting the skin's natural lipid structure is so important.

🤍 Healthy skin functions best when supported, not substituted.

Fun fact...
Waxing is actually one of my all time favourite services to perform.

There's something so satisfying about the clean results, the efficiency of the treatment, and seeing the instant confidence it gives my clients when they walk out the door.

One thing I hear all the time is, "I'll just wait until summer to start."
But the truth is, winter is actually the perfect time to begin your waxing journey.

Starting now gives your hair time to work with its natural growth cycle, helping you achieve softer, finer regrowth, fewer ingrown hairs and less shaving by the time summer arrives.

If you've been thinking about making the switch from shaving to waxing, this is your sign to start now.

Book your winter wax and let consistency do the rest.

Ah yeah... the truth is, I was a terrible student in high school. 😬

I struggled to focus, didn't listen, and honestly... I wasn't the easiest student to teach. (Sorry to my teachers. 🤍)

For a long time, I thought that meant I just wasn't smart enough.

But looking back, I don't think I was the problem. I just wasn't the right fit for the way I was being taught.

At 16, I left school and started beauty school... and suddenly everything made sense. My brain switched on. I found something I genuinely loved, and for the first time, learning didn't feel like a chore, it felt exciting.

Since then, I've poured everything into this little business. Long days, late nights, endless courses, plenty of mistakes, and so much growth. Every step has helped shape something I'm incredibly proud of.

I was once told I'd never amount to anything.

Turns out that became the fuel I needed.

Now, 17 years into this industry and running my own business, I know success isn't measured by how well you fit into one system.

Sometimes you just have to find the one where you're meant to thrive. 🤍

Ingredient check time 🔍

Next up in our ingredient series: SLS & SLES.

These foaming cleansing agents are found in many cleansers, shampoos, and body washes, creating the rich lather we've come to associate with feeling clean.

But is that squeaky clean feeling always a good thing?

Swipe through to discover why corneotherapy takes a different approach to cleansing and why protecting your skin barrier starts with the products you wash it with.

Because clean skin should never come at the expense of a healthy barrier.

Menopause doesn't just change your hormones. It changes your whole system, and your skin is often the first to show it. 👇

Collagen loss. Barrier breakdown. A shifting microbiome. It's not "just dry skin" it's your skin communicating a much bigger transition with what is happening beneath the surface.

The good news? Once you understand why it's happening, you can actually support it instead of fighting it.

Swipe through for the science, and what we do differently for menopausal skin. 🤍

I am so honoured to have been nominated for the Customer Choice Award. 🤍

It wasn't something I ever expected, and I'm incredibly grateful.

If you've ever had a positive experience at Defined By Jade and have a couple of spare minutes, I would truly appreciate your vote for my little business. Simply follow the link in my bio to vote.

Thank you for supporting my dream and allowing me to do what I love every day.

Sometimes a beauty appointment becomes so much more than that.

Over the past 17 years, I've celebrated pregnancies, engagements, new jobs and exciting new chapters. I've also sat beside clients through heartbreak, grief, illness, loss, their final moments and some of life's hardest struggles.

Some of you have shared your lives with me for over 14 years. I've watched families grow, babies become teenagers, careers flourish, dreams come true, and I've also been there during the moments that tested you most.

I've celebrated with you, cried with you, and sometimes quietly missed you when life became too overwhelming to make it to your appointments. And that's okay. Life happens.

My treatment room has never just been about skin, brows or beauty. It's a space where you're welcome exactly as you are. A place to laugh, cry, vent, celebrate or simply enjoy a little quiet time, a space completely free of judgement.

To every client who has trusted me with both your skin and your story, thank you. It is a privilege I will never take for granted, and I feel incredibly lucky to have walked alongside so many of you through life's journey. 🤍

Next up in our ingredient series- Emulsifiers.

Did you know your moisturiser wouldn't exist without them?

Emulsifiers are the ingredients that keep oil and water blended together, creating the smooth creams and lotions we use every day. But from a corneotherapy perspective, not all emulsifying systems are created equal.

Swipe through to discover why the type of emulsifier matters—and why protecting the skin's natural barrier is always our priority.

Because every ingredient should earn its place in a formulation.

🔍 Ingredient check time.

Next up in the series: fillers and silicones.

These are the ingredients that make products feel silky, smooth, and luxurious on the skin, but are they actually supporting skin function?

Have a swipe through to learn why corneotherapy takes a different approach and why I'm so passionate about ingredient choice.

Let me know your thoughts below 🤍

Our skin first approach isn't just for the face.

This hand transformation is a reminder that healthy skin starts with a healthy barrier. By understanding what's happening within the skin and providing the right support, we can help restore comfort, function, and resilience.

One of the key products used was our bestselling Omega 3 Treatment Oil. Rich in pure New Zealand kiwifruit seed oil, this powerhouse formulation helps support barrier repair, calm inflammation, and improve skin resilience.

It's a favourite for a multitude of skin concerns, including eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, acne, and overall aging. Because when the skin is given the right support, remarkable changes can happen anywhere on the body.

Healthy Skin Era Loading... ✨

Something new is arriving at Defined By Jade, and I can't wait to share it with you.

Any guesses what it might be? 👀

To kick off our ingredient series, we're starting with Preservatives.

Preservatives are added to skincare products to maintain product safety and shelf life, but have you ever stopped to consider how different preservative systems may interact with the skin?

In this post, we're exploring preservatives through a corneotherapy lens and why barrier-focused skincare takes a different approach.

Because understanding what you're putting on your skin is just as important as understanding what it's doing for your skin.

Following on from yesterday's post, I thought I'd share a little bit more about why I'm so passionate about ingredients and the impact they can have on our skin.

Over the coming weeks, I'll be breaking down some of the ingredients we choose not to use, what they do and why I take a barrier-first approach to skin health.

I can't wait to share more with you and feel free to message me if you've got any questions 🤍

One of the questions I get asked often is why am I so particular about the skincare I use and recommend.

The answer is simple: ingredients matter.

As someone who practices corneotherapy, my focus is on supporting the skin barrier, respecting the microbiome, and helping the skin function as it was designed to do.

Over the coming weeks, I'll be breaking down some of the ingredients you won't find in our formulations and explaining why.

Because healthy skin starts with healthy skin function.

Which ingredient are you most curious to learn about first? 🤍

There’s something really special about being trusted with someone’s brows for the very first time 🤍
I never take that trust lightly, and I felt so honoured to create these for you.

As a mum myself, I know how hard it can be to fit appointments around your little ones 🤍

That’s why children are always welcome at Defined By Jade. Whether it’s breastfeeding your baby while having your wax appointment, a little one sitting beside you playing with toys, or me attempting to hold together a tile tower while your tint processes 😅 — I want this space to feel comfortable, relaxed and judgement-free for all mums.

Sometimes you just need a little bit of pampering and time out… and I truly understand that motherhood doesn’t pause for self-care appointments. Self care should feel accessible not stressful.

Stocking up on your post-waxing favs 🤍

Because waxing isn’t just about the appointment — it’s also about how you care for your skin afterwards.

Ingrown-X-It helps to nurture the skin post-wax, gently exfoliates to reduce ingrown hairs and supports smoother skin between appointments.

Plus, our hair on strike product helps slow down hair regrowth over time. What a win!

The perfect little addition to keep your skin calm, smooth and supported after your waxing treatments ✨

A day to celebrate all the mother types 🤍

Wishing you a day filled with love, kindness, and a moment to relax. And maybe even a little peace and quiet too… because we all know how rare that can be 😅

Little side note - little Abigail was in my belly at this moment. Making this photo even more special now.

Honestly, one of the things I love most about what I do is the consultation process 🤍

I love sitting down with my clients, looking closely at their skin, hearing their concerns, and piecing together the bigger picture of what may be going on internally and externally.

Skin is rarely just “skin deep.” Hormones, stress, gut health, lifestyle, diet, inflammation, barrier damage — it all plays a role in how our skin functions and presents.

That’s why my approach is never about quick fixes or just treating what we see on the surface. It’s about working with you to understand the root cause, creating a personalised plan, and guiding you towards healthy, resilient skin while feeling good from the inside out.
