Jackie is a dedicated skincare professional with over two decades of international clinical and luxury spa experience. Dual-qualified with both ITEC and CIDESCO international diplomas—the gold standards in aesthetic and skin therapy—her career spans world-class luxury wellness retreats, medical aesthetic clinics, and private bespoke practices.
Now based in Cape Town, Jackie created Skin Bytes to bridge the gap between clinical results and approachable, education-led care. Skincare shouldn't feel intimidating, gatekept, or filled with unrealistic 12-step routines.
Whether you are rebuilding an impaired moisture barrier, addressing stubborn pigmentation, or seeking targeted facials and microneedling, Jackie combines hands-on technical expertise with transparent education so you genuinely understand what your skin needs to thrive.
No Trends, Just Skin Science
Treatments tailored to your specific skin physiology rather than viral social media fads.
Empowerment Through Education
Clear, actionable advice so your homecare routine protects your clinic investment.
Professional Care
Results-Driven Skin Treatments
Every face is distinct. Treatments are customized following a thorough skin analysis, combining clinical efficacy with restorative techniques.
Professional Exfoliation
Gentle enzymatic and mechanical resurfacing tailored to safely lift dull stratum corneum build-up without scratching or compromising cellular integrity.
Chemical Peels
Individually formulated Alpha and Beta Hydroxy acid solutions (lactic, mandelic, glycolic, salicylic) to stimulate cell renewal, clear congestion, and refine skin texture.
Microneedling
Precision collagen induction therapy to promote structural elastin synthesis, diminish fine lines, soften acne scars, and enhance bioactive nutrient delivery.
Targeted Facials
Custom-blended hands-on therapies designed to address hydration deficits, urban environmental fatigue, lymphatic drainage, and immediate cutaneous radiance.
Pigmentation & Barrier Repair
Specialized protocols focused on calming hyper-reactive skin, replenishing essential ceramides, and treating UV-induced discoloration and melasma without rebound irritation.
Homecare Guidance
Empowering your everyday skincare ritual
Professional treatments only account for a fraction of your skin’s life; daily homecare builds the foundation. Jackie provides honest, product-agnostic guidance to streamline your routine, remove counterproductive steps, and match ingredients to your seasonal skin shifts.

Ferulic Acid: The Quiet Overachiever
Often tucked into the fine print behind Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid is one of skincare’s most indispensable defenders. A plant-derived antioxidant, it stabilizes notoriously volatile vitamins C & E while significantly doubling their photoprotective capability against free radical damage.
Jackie's Takeaway: Look for it paired with L-ascorbic acid at 0.5%–1% for maximum daytime defense.

Skin Goals & Plans
Resetting Your Barrier After Over-Exfoliation
Stinging with plain moisturizer? Persistent blotchiness and tight, squeaky skin? Your stratum corneum lipid matrix is compromised. Step away from acids, retinoids, and scrubs for a strict 14-day lipid reset using bio-identical ceramides, squalane, and simple hydration.
Jackie's Takeaway: A healthy barrier must precede active treatment. Never treat inflamed skin with aggressive actives.

Ingredient Explainer
Niacinamide: Percentage Myth vs. Reality
The modern trend of pushing 10% to 20% Niacinamide formulas is causing widespread dermatitis and redness. In peer-reviewed clinical dermatological trials, the efficacy sweet spot for sebum regulation, barrier synthesis, and pore appearance is 2% to 5%.
Jackie's Takeaway: More is not better in cosmetic biochemistry. 3% to 5% gives all the rewards with zero irritation.
