Lightweight Moisturizers Just In Time For Summer!

As the weather gets warmer and the humidity increases, it’s time to swap out your heavy winter moisturizers to lighter formulations. It can be intimidating to change things up and pick a brand new product for the dog days of summer, so I’m sharing my top picks by concern area to help you find the one that works for you:

Best lightweight moisturizer for sensitive skin: Dermalogica Calm Water Gel is a weightless water-gel moisturizer that rehydrates dry, sensitive skin. It provides a protective barrier against environmental assault and leaves skin feeling quenched and comfortable ($52).

Best anti-aging lightweight moisturizer: Dr. Dennis Gross Hyaluronic Marine Oil-Free Moisture Cushion is feather-light, oil-free moisturizer infused with a unique Japanese Marine Algae and enriched with essential amino acids and B vitamins to strengthen skin and replenish moisture ($60).

Best clean lightweight moisturizer: Indie Lee Active Oil-Free Moisturizer hydrates parched skin with a clean formula containing antioxidants Milk Thistle, Pomegranate, and Vitamin-C rich Mandarin plus Immortal Flowers and Great Burdock to provide lightweight hydration ($60).

Best lightweight moisturizer with SPF: Supergoop Daily Dose SPF 40 is my absolute favorite of this line-up. In the winter, I give myself a little more time to do my skincare. When it gets cold and dry, thoroughly protecting my skin is a must. However, in the summer when there is so much moisture in the air, I keep it as light and streamlined as possible because of my oily skin. This product is one and done lightweight serum/hydrator hybrid which contains SPF 40 along with free radical fighting Vitamin C. It is oil-free and leaves a lit-from-within finish. Layering products in the summer can make my skin feel heavy, but I absolutely love this stuff as a makeup primer to keep things light and bearable! ($46).
