Discover Your Skin Type: Tips for Oily or Dry Skin
Finding out whether your skin is oily or dry can feel like a mystery. Understanding your skin type is crucial for selecting products that truly benefit your skin. At Australian Bodycare, we offer natural skincare solutions designed to support all skin types, blending nature and science for optimal results.
Recognising Oily and Dry Skin
If your skin often appears shiny and greasy, especially in the T-zone, you likely have oily skin, which can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Conversely, if your skin feels tight or flaky, you may be experiencing dryness. Recognising these signs assists in maintaining healthy skin, and using the right treatments can greatly enhance your complexion.
With over 30 years of expertise, we provide dermatologist-tested products that cater to the needs of both oily and dry skin. Our goal is to ensure your skin remains nourished and cared for.

Identifying Your Skin Type and Its Causes
Understanding the reasons behind your skin's behaviour is key to effective skincare management. Hormones, stress, and environmental factors can influence your skin's oil production, leading to greasiness or acne. Similarly, dry skin often arises from a lack of moisture or exposure to harsh conditions.
If you're unsure about your skin type, try this simple water test: cleanse your face and wait 30 minutes. If it feels tight, you likely have dry skin; if it feels oily, you may have oily skin. It's also common for skin to be combination, with different areas requiring different care.
