You may already have a summer favourite face cream that works for your skin type. However, if it seems to be leading to breakouts or making your skin look like or feel greasy, you’re due for a switch in your routine. While winter skin care is all about heavy emulsions and extra hydration, summer moisturisers should ideally be lightweight and hydrating.
In summers, while your skin might feel oily, there are chances that it’s still dehydrated. Case in point: Don’t skip the moisturiser from your routine. One product does not suit all skin types and therefore, we have made a list of six types of moisturisers that feel comfortable on the skin, are result-oriented, and improve the skin’s overall health after continuous use.
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil Free Gel Cream
While it’s lightweight and hydrating enough to suit all skin types, people with oily skin may enjoy using it more. As the name suggests, the cream is in gel form and oil free. It leaves the skin looking and feeling balanced, and visibly reduces the appearance of oil. It’s quick absorbing and can be used in the morning and at night.
CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30
If you have normal skin type with dry patches or if your skin tends to get drier by the end of the day, this could be your pick. It maintains the skin’s hydration while SPF 30 protects it against the sun. In addition to its hydration properties, it doesn’t clog pores, so you don’t have to stress about breakouts.
The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
This product is a great budget buy if you’re looking for a hydrating moisturiser that’s non-greasy and well hydrating. While it suits all skin types, it’s great for those who are looking to target dryness. Also, it’s a good product to have if you can’t commit to a proper routine as it works well with other products or even when used individually.
Natio For Men Oil Free Moisturiser
What more do we need from a summer face lotion that already gives matt-finish, provides oil control and balances excess sebum production. With aloe vera, chamomile and shea butter, this one is lightweight, gentle and hydrating.
Dr Sheth’s Ceramide & Vitamin C Brightening Oil-Free Moisturizer
If you are looking to get rid of those dark spots and dull skin in addition to skin dehydration, this budget buy is the best pick for your skin type. It deeply hydrates the skin while working on fading dark spots and improving uneven skin tone.
Paula’s Choice Oil-free Moisturiser
If you enjoy using products that are barely there and still do the maximum, you might have to spend a little extra than usual. Paula’s Choice products might be expensive but once you start using them, there’s no alternative that will impress you as much. The oil-free moisturiser from the brand is a weightless face cream that’s great for blemish-prone and acne-prone skin. The pro tip here is to use it before bedtime to let your skin get its benefits through the night.
