Science-Focused Path (for dermatology, cosmetic chemistry, skincare formulation, etc.):
Option 1
Biology – Essential for understanding skin structure, functions, diseases, and the human body overall.
Chemistry – Critical for cosmetic formulation, understanding ingredients, and how products interact with the skin.
Psychology – Useful for understanding consumer behavior and the psychological aspects of skincare and beauty.
Other subject considerations:
Physics – Helpful if you’re going into dermatological equipment (e.g. laser technology).
Maths – Beneficial for data analysis, research, or any science-based career.
Option 2
Business/Creative-Focused Path (for beauty brand development, marketing, aesthetics, etc.):
Business Studies – Valuable for running a skincare business, brand management, or product development.
Economics – Useful for market analysis and understanding the beauty industry at a larger scale.
Art & Design (or Textiles) – Great if you're interested in packaging design, branding, or creating a skincare line with strong aesthetics.
Media Studies – Helps with beauty marketing, advertising, and digital presence.
