German term
Australia
pflegebewusst
German to English
Marketing
Cosmetics, Beauty
Skin care products
as in products designed for "pflegebewusste Frauen" etc.
Is it just the same as "beauty-conscious"? Or does it mean women who care for their skin. Any neat ways of putting this in English. I am in unfamiliar territory here.

beauty-conscious
I doon't think a literal translation works here. It means women who care about their appearance.

: but "pflege" does not necessarily go hand in hand with "beauty". An ugly woman can be gepflegt, and a beautiful woman ungepflegt ( the so called cave women :))

: that's a slightly different thing; too poetic, actually, for English. Slovenian forum is elsewhere.

care-conscious
depending on the context ( what kind of products are we talking about?), you can put anything next to -conscious.
health-conscious
figure-conscious...
etc.
It's not a scientific term, so you can surrender to poetic impulses :)

: "skin care conscious" is the only one so far that sounds natural. Personally, I'd even be tempted to go for "products for today's/the modern/the discerning/the contemporary woman". There's nothing worse than clunky advertising.

"grooming-conscious" is another term often used these days, especially in relation to men, e.g.:
Masculine products and more skin care-like ingredients are on the rise as makers of personal cleansers look to connect with grooming-conscious men and moisture-craving women.
http://www.happi.com/articles/2008/11/getting-personal
As a grooming-conscious consumer, he had searched unsuccessfully for a full collection of men’s products in a market geared towards women and dismayed by the lack of choices, he set out to personally deliver a head-to-toe men’s grooming line, perfect for the modern man.
