Summer is knocking at the door. It’s about time to ditch the heavy-duty skincare products from our winter basket to make way for the lighter summer-friendly ones. Moisturising your face still holds utmost importance because our delicate facial skin is susceptible to environmental harshness more than the rest of the body. During summer the sebaceous glands of our face get hyperactive due to the heat and humidity. It makes our facial skin oily in no time and that’s the reason we avoid moisturisers in summer. But cutting back the moisturiser from skincare not only causes more oiliness but also makes the skin age faster. Using a lighter moisturiser is the best option to keep the skin lively and radiant. Here are 6 tried and tested skincare products that feel light on the skin.
Nivea Soft Light Moisturiser
Nivea Soft Light Moisturiser is one of the most effective yet gentle moisturisers for daily use. This Vitamin E and Jojoba oil enriched moisturiser leaves skin smooth and fresh. The non-greasy formula gets seeped into the skin quickly without making the skin feeling weighed down. This budget-friendly moisturiser comes in 4-5 different sizes, so there’s a perfect size for everyone. The light tropical fragrance of this moisturiser feels refreshing as well!
Suitable for: All skin types.
