Did you know Australian women are more concerned about clear skin than their waistlines? Sound like you? Rescu. has rustled up the best new skin brightening products so your skin will no longer be your biggest concern!
By Anna McDougall
A survey conducted by the Cosmetic Physicians Society of Australasia (CPSA) and cosmetic medicine website Costhetics has found that when it comes to our appearance, Australians are more concerned about their skin tone and texture than they are about their weight.
The CPSA survey revealed that skn tone and texture, such as redness, sun spots, freckles, pigmentation and complexion, were the most concerning aspects of appearance for the majority (58.5 per cent) of respondents. The appearance of fine lines (38.9 per cent) ranked second among those surveyed, followed by loss of volume in the face (34.7 per cent) and weight (34.7 per cent), which were voted equal third.
Dr Susan Austin from the CPSA said, “While the survey results may surprise some, they’re consistent with what CPSA doctors see in their practices. Often, poor quality skin tone, such as blotchy skin, redness and sun spots can be even more ageing than wrinkles, which explains why skin tone rated so highly among respondents.”
