From quick-absorbing face creams to refreshing gel formulas, these are the best lightweight moisturisers for the warmer weather
If you think frizzy hair is the summer’s biggest beauty bummer, you may want to think again. In a warm and humid city like Hong Kong, ensuring our hairstyle intact while sweating through the hot summer days can be a struggle—and it can seem nearly impossible to keep the skin cool and clean, too, especially these days, when face masks have become an essential part of everyday life. What’s worse? The sticky weather can also wreak havoc on your skin, resulting in melting makeup, undesired oiliness, and even breakouts.
With even warmer days to come, it’s time to switch up your skincare routine and swap out your thick, rich winter creams for some lightweight moisturisers that can keep your skin as hydrated and fresh as possible. The right moisturiser will not only help ward off all sorts of summer skin woes, including clogged pores and heat rashes, but also leave you with a supple, glowy complexion.
Want to invest in a quality moisturiser but not sure which products to choose from? Below, we’ve compiled a list of lightweight moisturisers that are perfect for summer 2021.
