If it is clothes you can easily measure your size and get one that fits, if it is food or books you know exactly what you want, but when it comes to beauty products the choice becomes a bit difficult.


First you need to know what your skin type is; second what is the need for the beauty product – is it regular daily make up, is it to cure or hide pimples and acne marks, is it age-defying, is it a sun block or a moisturizer or night cream (and the list goes on). The options of beauty products Sydney are simply exhausting and at times pretty confusing. So now you cannot shop for them on the basis of your skin being just dry or oily, normal or acne prone.

Before hitting the beauty products section get to know about your skin beyond the dry, oily or combination type.

Density – First you need to know if you are thick skinned or thin skinned, and this is in literal terms. How your skin behaves as you age is largely dependent on the skin’s density. Typically thick skin has more laxity and droops very quickly, think skin quickly shows signs of ageing through lines and wrinkles. Ideally skin should fall somewhere between thick and thin. The best way of telling whether your skin is thick or thin is by pinching your cheeks, not hard of course. Pinch with your thumb and forefinger and then check the gap between your fingers. If it is between 0.5-1 cm your skin is thin, between 1 and 1.5 you have medium skin while thick skin will measure above 1.5 cm.

Whether your skin is thick or thin beauty products containing retinol is what you should be searching for. Retinol strengthens the epidermis and plumps it helping thin skinned people and for the thick skinned ones it stimulates elastin and collagen production making the skin tighter and firmer.

Oil Balance - Another important factor is the oil balance in your skin. Excess oil and sebum causes clogged pores which leads to acne, blackheads and inflammation. And the lack of it causes dryness accelerating wrinkle formation. The best way to tell is to wash your face with plain water and pat dry it. Gently rub all over with a piece of tissue. For people with oily skin the tissue absorbs traces of sebum and shows up. If the tissue remains dry, you have dry skin.

When buying beauty products Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, people with oily skin should choose products containing salicylic acid especially the face wash. If you have dry skin choose products that are fortified with retinol as it stimulates the dormant skin cells.
