As the heat rises the summer months, it is important to acknowledge that our skin also changes and can require a different routine of applying our skincare products or new products entirely. By studying your face each morning, you can see where you may need more hydration or less in your routine.

Typically, heavier hydration in the winter months in the form of thicker creams is best. In the summer we should only need thinner, more gel-like creams to lock in our serums and toners etc. to keep our skin hydrated and plump.
Here’s our round up of our favourite light-weight moisturising formulas which will give you the best radiant, plump skin this summer!
1) Best lightweight moisturiser for sensitive skin:
Pharmaceris A Hyaluro-Sensilium
Pharmaceris A Hyaluro-Sensilium has a water cream formulation with the concentrated action of high and low-molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which is biocompatible with the hyaluronic acid naturally present in human skin. The product moisturises the skin on many levels, acting as a highly moisturising compress that immediately relieves the discomfort and tension of dry skin.
Additional long-lasting moisturisation is ensured due to the presence of 3% pro-glucoseze, a component with strong hygroscopic properties, that binds water and increases the level of hydration in the stratum corneum. Advanced Immuno-Prebiotic and Leukine-barrier formulas rebuild the damaged skin's protective barrier, alleviate existing irritations and actively prevent new ones, including redness, hypersensitivity and allergic reactions caused by higher exposure to allergens, for example during periods of pollen emission.
