Owner & Manager of River Skincare

When it comes to skincare, expertise matters—and I’ve spent my career mastering it. With a Level 9 in Skin and Hair Follicle Science from the Charles Institute of Dermatology at UCD School of Medicine, I take a scientific, results-driven approach to diagnosing and treating skin concerns.

With over 14 years of experience in advanced skincare, education, and medical-grade treatments, I’ve trained in 49 professional skincare brands and worked as a CIDESCO tutor and Head of Education for a leading Irish skincare brand. My expertise covers skin care products, product ingredient and efficacy, skin diagnostics(this is my super power), facial aesthetics, and corrective treatments, allowing me to deliver tailored solutions based on what actually works—not trends or marketing gimmicks.

Unlike many in the industry, I don’t sell skincare directly. I charge for my consultations so I can remain entirely unbiased, focused solely on your skin—not on sales. Every recommendation I make is based on years of experience diagnosing and treating real skin concerns, not on how much product you buy or how often. My goal isn’t to sell you a routine—it’s to give you the right routine for your skin’s needs.

As part of my service, I sign clients up to Get Harley, a premium skincare concierge that provides access to professional-grade skincare that can only be purchased through consultation with a skin health expert. This ensures you get the best possible products, hand-selected for your skin, without the confusion.
If a certain product is not stocked by Get Harley, it is usually stocked locally in your pharmacy or online.

If you're tired of trial and error and want a professional, science-backed approach to skincare, book a consultation today. Let’s get your skin working for you.
