Our Philosophy

By definition we focus on the correction and restoration of the upper most layer of the skin the stratum corneum. Along with its barrier & its defence systems. These defence systems may have been impaired by disease, genetics, mechanical, physiological, or chemical stressors to the skin. We must adhere to strict guidelines to classify ourselves as a corneotherapists. Skincare should maintain the first three lines of barrier defence, by restoring and protecting the stratum corneum, balancing the PH of the acid mantle & protecting against negative environmental influences. To put it simply, would you live in a house with a damaged, open roof, with no protection against bad weather?

Corneotherapeutic skincare will never contain petroleum based ingredients, fragrances, conventional emulsifiers, preservatives, parabens, mineral oils, colours or dyes. When visiting Sage Skin you will be educated on the detrimental effects these have on the skin. We are so proud to be partnered with dermaviduals, who create products with phosphatidylcholine instead of preservatives and emulsifiers. Phosphatidylcholine spontaneously forms lipid membranes like those of the cell membranes.

Our modalities within our bespoke treatments have also been carefully selected to align with corneotherapeutic principles. We do not use dermabrasion, dermaplaning, ablative & dermal ablative treatments or chemical peels.  corneotherapists work to repair not breakdown, we do not want to disrupt those first three lines of barrier defence.

As corneotherapists, we follow a logical path that finds the causes of conditions, not just treating the symptom. We focus on using the power of consultation and treat with an individualised approach. One size does not fit all. We have only touched the surface of our mantra, book your First Bespoke Sage Treatment now, to begin your journey.
