Home / About Us
We're a team of skincare enthusiasts, licensed estheticians, and at-home waxing advocates dedicated to helping Australians achieve salon-quality results in the comfort of their own homes.
Smooth Skin Australia was born from a simple frustration that many of us have experienced: the cost, inconvenience, and sometimes awkwardness of regular salon appointments for Brazilian waxing. Our founder, after spending years and thousands of dollars on professional waxing services across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, decided there had to be a better way.
What started as a personal quest to master at-home hard wax application quickly evolved into something much bigger. After countless hours of research, testing dozens of wax formulations from polymer-based stripless waxes to traditional rosin blends, and consulting with professional estheticians, we discovered that achieving smooth, long-lasting results at home wasn't just possible—it was surprisingly accessible with the right knowledge and products.
In 2024, we launched Smooth Skin Australia with a clear mission: to demystify at-home waxing and provide honest, expert-backed guidance to Australians looking to take control of their hair removal routine. We understand the unique challenges our climate presents, from the humidity of Queensland affecting wax consistency to the importance of sun protection in our harsh UV environment post-waxing.
Our team rigorously tests every product we recommend. We evaluate wax warmers for temperature accuracy and heat-up time, assess hard wax beans for pliability, grip strength, and comfort on sensitive bikini areas, and examine pre-wax and post-wax care products for their effectiveness in preventing ingrown hairs and soothing irritated skin. We don't just read the marketing materials—we actually use these products ourselves and gather feedback from our community of home waxing enthusiasts.
Beyond product reviews, we're passionate about education. We believe that understanding the science behind hair growth cycles, proper wax temperature ranges (typically 55-65°C for hard wax), correct application angles, and aftercare protocols is what separates a painful, patchy wax from a professional-quality experience. Our guides cover everything from the ideal hair length for effective removal (5-10mm) to techniques for managing sensitive areas and preventing common issues like lifted skin, bruising, and those dreaded ingrown hairs.
Every recommendation is backed by real testing and skincare science, not just manufacturer claims.
We highlight both pros and cons. If a product isn't worth your money, we'll tell you straight.
Our content is tailored for Australian consumers, with local availability and climate considerations.
We listen to our readers and continuously improve based on your feedback and questions.
