Summer is great and all but you know what's not great? An everlasting sweaty sheen.
Whether
your skin is oily, combination or normal, it happens to the best of us
(damn you summer sunshine). So what's the solve? It's really as simple
as swapping out your regular moisturizer for something a little more
lightweight. Lucky for all of us, there are tons of formulas out there
and most are oil-free with a water-like consistency.
Sure
the whole point of a lighter lotion is to nix excess oil production, but
there are tons of bonus benefits (like fighting acne if you're prone,
pore refining and more).
So what are you waiting for? Shop the below picks and we promise: You're ready to go!
