‘I have oily skin and I swear by this £16 gel moisturiser in the warmer months'
If your skin gets oily or shiny in the heat, this £16 gel moisturiser could be a game-changer as it hydrates the skin without clogging or greasiness
I have pretty oily skin, and with the muggy, hot weather we've been having the past couple of days, my skin has been bordering on sweaty-looking rather than dewy and radiant (which is what I'm usually going for).
That means it's time to get out the moisturiser I swear by when the temperature rises. The moisturiser in question is Facetheory's Supergel Oil-Free Moisturiser, priced at an affordable £16 for 50ml.
Designed specifically for combination and blemish-prone skin, its jelly texture is oil-free, meaning it hydrates without clogging pores or leaving behind that dreaded shine
Packed full of ingredients that help keep oil at bay and prevent acne from occurring, it's ideal under makeup or worn solo, especially during hot, humid days when your skin needs lightweight hydration and extra skincare benefits.
I love layering under a milky toner like Beauty of Joseon's Glow Replenishing Rice Milk or BYOMA's Hydrating Milky Toner when I want that extra hydration.
The ingredients that make Facehtheory's moisturiser so great include salicylic acid, which acts as a chemical exfoliant that clears out clogged pores, helps control excess oil production and reduces possible inflammation. A lifesaver in the muggy English heat that can lead to sweaty breakouts.
The next star ingredient is niacinamide, which can help improve the skin's barrier function, regulate oil production, and generally improve the skin's health.
Lastly, the formula features hyaluronic acid, which helps deliver a burst of moisture your skin really needs, even in the summertime, without the heaviness of thick cream or butter. The result is smooth, healthy skin that feels fresh and looks matte all day with no stickiness or greasiness in sight. And it's a product that swiftly became my everyday go-to in the summertime.
My only criticism of this product is its packaging. The foil squeeze tube can be hard to get product out of when you get towards the end, which can result in a loss of moisturiser. However, I can live with the ever-so-slightly annoying packaging, considering the moisturiser works so well on my oily skin.
