‘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.

'I tried Erborian's new milky serum, it gave me plumper, glowier skin overnight'
Erborian's new milky serum promises glass-like skin overnight, and after just one use, I saw glow, hydration, and a noticeably plumper complexion Milky toners are a bit of a buzzword right now in the beauty world, but in my opinion, the ones I've tried actually live up to their hype. From BYOMA's Hydrating Milky Toner, £11.99, to Curel's Moisture Facial Milk and Beauty of Joseon's Glow Replenishing Rice Milk, I've trialled my fair share. And now K-Beauty brand Erborian has just launched its new Skin-Therapy Milky Serum. A biphase milky texture thats ideal for us who have normal to oily skin. I was intrigued by this as its a serum rather than a toner, and on the fact that it promises to target seven areas of the skin with just one tiny bottle. I'm not a massive fan of layering hundreds of different products on my face, so having a one-and-done product really appeals to me. Packed full with 17 powerhouse ingredients, including glow-giving Yuzu, soothing Centella Asiatica, and Ginseng, this milky serum is ideal for those with oiler skin or those who prefer a barely-there feel. Plus, it's got skin-plumping Hyaluronic Acid and 10% PHA to gently exfoliate, clear pores and smooth texture, along with Allantoin to calm any redness. Erborian Skin-Therapy Milky Serum review I'm already a huge fan of Erborian. The CC Red Correct with Centella Asiatica is my current go-to base product and one of my favourite ever skin tints. While the Super BB Concealer also has a spot in my everyday make-up bag. So I was very excited to test out this new launch. Firstly, I love the packaging, the glass bottle makes the serum feel really premium and the pipette makes the product so easy to use (makes sure to shake well before use as its a biphase texture). Secondly, I really enjoy the consistency, it feels oiler than serums I've tried in the past, but this makes the product glide so smoothly onto the skin and leaves the skin with that immediate radiance. The serum claims to have visible results after the first night, and I was pretty skeptical about this as I find a lot of brands claim that without actually having any instant results. But after using this serum for one night, I found that my skin felt hydrated, plumper and looked visibly glowy (in a trendy glass skin way, not a sweaty way). My sister even commented that my skin looked so bright and awake on our 7am morning walk. Because of the 10% PHA content, Erborian recommend using this as a night-time-only treatment, ideally on its own (though a moisturiser on top is fine). As I mentined above, that's ideal for me, I don't love layering lots of products, especially when I'm short on time before bed. I've struggled to find anything wrong with this product so far, I do have oilier skin so this product works perfectly for my skin your skin is on the drier side though, you might find it not quite hydrating enough. In that case, I'd suggest trying the Skin Therapy Oil Serum from the same range. It has a richer, oil-based texture that's better suited for dry or very dry skin. It is on the pricier side at £45, but considering how many areas it targets and the fact it eliminates using lots of other serums or toners, I think the price is justified.

‘My boyfriend and I both use this £15 non-greasy Boots face SPF on holiday'
Looking for an excellent value facial sun cream that the whole family will like using? I think I've found it with this new £14.99 launch, with it proving popular with both males and females Whether you're on holiday or not, you should be wearing SPF on your face every day, but it's not always easy to find a nice formula that doesn't feel too heavy or greasy – and that men, who perhaps typically aren't used to using as many skincare products on their faces as women, like the feel of too. However, here's one that recently got the thumbs up from both me and my boyfriend. On a recent short holiday to Italy, where the temperatures reached around 22°C every day, we decided to streamline our suitcase by bringing just one facial sunscreen for us both to use, and the one we chose was BYOMA's new Ultralight Face Fluid SPF 50, which costs £14.99 from Boots. Here's why it was such a hit for use both... First up – and useful to know if you're thinking of packing it on holiday – the 50ml bottle is super slim yet easy to squeeze (shake it up first), meaning it'll take up hardly any space in your toiletries bag. It's super high factor too – SPF 50 and broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection – meaning you're defending your skin from the sun's harmful rays as much as possible. It also contains hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and something called 'cera-sun techonology', which helps to calm redness from sun exposure. It's also fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, meaning it won't block pores. What we both loved most about it, though, was, despite this high factor, it looks and feels weightless, leaving skin feeling moisturised yet not at all greasy. There's also no white cast whatsoever, which my boyfriend especially appreciated, as this can sometimes be more noticeable in beards. Boots shoppers have been loving it too, awarding it an impressive 4.6 stars out of five from dozens of reviews. "I've highly enjoyed using this SPF!" one person wrote. "It has a really great applicator which means I can apply straight to the face and not onto my palm first. I also find it doesn't leave a white cast on my Indian skin, and it absorbs nicely without leaving me feeling greasy." "I am very happy with this. I have quite oily, reactive skin, and sunscreen often makes me break out. This one does not," another review reads. "I find it works best if I apply it on top of the Byoma gel cream moisturizer, my skin does not seem to like it if I use the sunscreen instead of moisturiser. Leaves a healthy glow without looking or feeling too greasy." A third agreed: "This is fab, the texture is lovely, it's easily absorbed with great coverage. I'm taking this on holiday as its a great size for me to keep in my handbag." One shopper, however, found that it pilled a bit under make-up, writing that "it doesn't absorb very well in my skin and kind of flakes off (like the texture you get if you rub off glue from your skin). Definitely isn't suitable for under make-up. Very disappointing as I love all the other Byoma products I have but will not be repurchasing this one." One other user, however, suggested that it's a good idea to wait five minutes after applying it before putting make-up over the top. Here at The Mirror we've few a few other face SPFs that have also impressed us recently. I'm obsessed with Ultra Violette Future Fluid SPF 50+ Superlight Mineral Skinscreen, £38, (probably not one for guys though, as it does give a slight skin-evening effect), while our senior shopping writer Faith has been putting Holly Willoughby's go-to tinted SPF to the test.
