Barrier Repair–Focused Facials for Acne, Hyperpigmentation & Compromised Skin

Corrective skincare for clients with sensitive, reactive, or damaged skin barriers. No guesswork. No over-treatment.

Why Choose Us

Bare Complexion Studio is a skincare-focused treatment space in Gurnee, Illinois, owned and operated by Licensed Esthetician Deja Graves. With over three years of hands-on experience, Deja specializes in corrective skin treatments using only professional-grade products and results-driven techniques.

Most skin concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, texture, and sensitivity cannot be corrected long-term without repairing the skin barrier first. A compromised barrier leads to inflammation, product reactions, and stalled results. Her approach focuses on restoring skin health before introducing corrective treatments, allowing the skin to respond safely and effectively.

Every client starts with an in-depth consultation that looks at your skin, your lifestyle, and anything that could be affecting your results like stress, environment, and daily habits.

From there, you get a personalized treatment plan, product recommendations, and a routine that fits your real life. No gatekeeping. Just education, care, and skin that actually changes.

This is skincare with intention, guided by someone who knows how to get results you can see and feel.

    Best experience ever! It was my first time getting my eyebrows laminated. Ive gotten my eyebrows waxed and tinted before but never laminates. It was so relaxing and even tho I am a very shy person with severe anxiety, the esthetician (Deja) made my experience so calm and welcoming. I will admit she is so funny and I NEEDED me time and doll up! Self-care! I love the new brows totally boosted my confidence and found out they also have facials! Im very self conscious about my acne...💔 and finding a place that I feel comfortable is HARD ive gone to different places and its awkward and I end up not going back because my anxiety kicks in hard...Im thankful I found a place that I wont feel afraid to come back to and finally care for my skin, self love and care is important to me! This place has become part of my self love journey! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
