If you’ve landed on this site because your skin feels irritated, reactive, or suddenly sensitive to everything, you’re not alone.
A lot of people end up here after trying too many products, exfoliating too often, or following routines that were too aggressive for their skin. When that happens, skincare can quickly become confusing and frustrating.
This site exists to make things simpler, not more complicated.
What this site focuses on (and why)
Skincare Sydney is focused on one thing: helping people understand and protect their skin barrier, especially when skin feels over-treated or sensitive.
Instead of chasing trends or miracle ingredients, the goal here is to explain:
- What’s actually happening in the skin
- Why certain routines make things worse
- How simplifying often helps more than adding
Everything is explained in plain English, without hype.
What this site is (and isn’t)
This site is:
- Beginner-friendly
- Focused on clarity and fundamentals
- Written from a learning, not expert, perspective
This site is not:
- Medical advice
- A replacement for a dermatologist
- A product store (for now)
The aim is understanding first. Products come much later, if at all.
Where to begin
If you’re new here, these two articles are the best place to start:
- What the Skin Barrier Actually Is (In Plain English)
A simple explanation of what the skin barrier is and why it matters. - Signs Your Skin Barrier Might Be Damaged
Common signs that skin may be irritated or compromised, and why things can suddenly feel worse.
You don’t need to read everything at once. Take it slowly.
One important reassurance
Skin issues like irritation and sensitivity are often temporary, even when they feel overwhelming. With the right information, fewer irritants, and some patience, many people find their skin settles again over time. This site is here to help you understand that process calmly.
