Top 5 Moisturisers for Oily Skin in Australian Summer
If you’re in Australia you’ve probably realised that spring has sprung! Which means that summer is just around the corner. If you’re in Queensland, let's face it - it's summer already.
Warmer temperatures mean it’s time to revamp your skin care routine. For those of us with oily skin this is even more important.
SUMMER-PROOF YOUR SKIN
Summer in Australia means more UV exposure and higher humidity. Both of these can spell trouble for our skin, causing more sun spots and breakouts. Which means we need to adapt our skincare accordingly.
For a lot of people, the biggest skin difference from winter to summer comes down to hydration and oiliness in the skin. While winter dries our skin out, in summer the humidity often leaves our skin feeling as though its melting.
HOW TO PICK THE PERFECT SUMMER MOISTURISER
One way to ensure our skin doesn’t get too oily is to find the perfect summer moisturiser. The ideal candidate is something that’s hydrating but light enough to avoid the summer slick.

Other Summer Skin Care TIps
Sunscreen Removal
When it comes to your cleansers, we still recommend double cleansing every night. This is essential for helping to properly remove all that sunscreen you'll be wearing.
Summer is not the time to load up on heavy, thick or rich creams. But that doesn't mean you want to throw your anti-aging routine out the window altogether.
Instead, swap over to a lighter, jelly-textured sleeping mask. Something like Jelly Ko'sCherry Blossom Sleeping Mask cares for all the key concerns overnight while you sleep so that you wake up to softer, plumper, bouncier skin the next morning.
If you are finding your skin is getting a bit more clogged and congested than usual, then we also recommend adding a clay mask to your routine 2-3 times a week.
Simply pop one on for 5 – 6 minutes or until the mask starts to dry and then wash off. Your skin will become noticeably clearer and less congested.
