5 Australian Beauty Secrets You Never Knew You Needed
Like the traditional French approach to beauty, Australians tend to have an enviably effortless approach to beauty. Theyβve perfected beachy hair, minimal makeup and glowy, sun-kissed skin. But although it may seem like theyβve just come back from a day at the beach, the truth is thereβs a lot that goes into their beauty routine. βPeople think Aussies are really laid-back about beauty, which I donβt believe is true,β shares Frank Bodyβs co-founder, Jess Hatzis. βI think we put a lot of effort into it, but in less obvious ways.β For instance, like K-beauty devotees, Aussies favour facials, a healthy complexion and protecting skin from sun damage above all else.

Natural skincare is also favoured among Aussies. βJojoba oil and tea tree oil solve everything,β says Jasmine Garnsworthy, owner of The Buff. βAustralians know natureβs got the answer to most problemsβbreakouts, wrinkles and dry skin included. We turn to jojoba oil, which is widely farmed in Australia, to moisturise and hydrate our skin, and swear itβs the best answer to acne scars, tired skin and breakoutsβparticularly when mixed with tea tree oil, a native plant thatβs super antiseptic. Together, jojoba and tea tree oil make a powerful, natural blend that wonβt clog pores, and can help manage breakouts while also hydrating and softening the skin.β
