It’s easy to assume that when the temperature climbs, your skin hydration takes care of itself.
Summer might be the season of glowing skin, but it’s also the season of ice-cold air-con, long-haul flights, sweaty workouts and packed social calendars. And according to dermatologist Dr Shreya Andric, your skin notices all of it.
“Skin is constantly exposed to environmental and lifestyle factors that can impact hydration,” Dr Andric says.
“From air-conditioned environments and seasonal weather changes to travel, exercise and stress, these daily-pressures can leave skin feeling dry or depleted. Consistent hydration is one of the simplest ways to help support a healthy-looking complexion.”
The lightweight fix Australia keeps reaching for
So what’s the answer when you want hydration without the heavy, sticky feel of a traditional cream? A lightweight water-based moisturiser is the best place to start.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is the no. 1 face moisturiser in Australia and New Zealand, and it’s easy to see why. The water gel formula combines hyaluronic acid with a fast-absorbing texture that replenishes moisture and leaves skin feeling refreshed, smooth and hydrated, without weighing it down.
And the numbers are pretty impressive. The formula is clinically proven to deliver 72-hour hydration and an 80% stronger skin moisture barrier after just one use, compared to untreated skin.
In a world of complicated multi-step routines, people want products that deliver proven results without adding extra work, and this delivers an instant burst of hydration that helps skin look plump and stay comfortable all day.
The verdict
At $38 (and often on sale for even less), it’s a small spend for a step you’ll use every day, summer included.
If your skin has been feeling a little flat lately, this could be the easy fix you’ve been looking for.
