8 skincare products that are made for our warm and humid weather

Despite the weatherman reporting that there will be more thundery showers to come, temperatures are still expected to soar to 34 deg C. And we have not even talked about the humidity and the fact that we are all in masks when we step outdoors.

While it may be logical to skip applying layers of serums and creams due to our weather, it is important – if not essential – that our skin gets the hydration it needs.

Our beauty hack: opt for skincare products that come in lightweight , fast-absorbing formulas that sit comfortably on the skin without leaving an oily or greasy residue.

Ahead, we recommend the products that could just be your skin saver in this weather.

1. Dr.Jart+ Ctrl-A Teatreement Moisturiser, $41

It aids in reducing the appearance of blemishes and rebalances the skin’s pH as well as its moisture levels for a plumper, smoother complexion.

Plus, it also contains a Green Calming Complex to soothe, hydrate and calm redness and irritation.

2. Fenty Skin Fat Water Toner-Serum, $42

While it does dispense as a slightly viscous texture, this absorbs into the skin without leaving a sticky residue and instead, feels refreshing upon application.

The vegan formula is said to deliver abundant moisture for a plump complexion while targeting enlarged pores, dark spots and rebalances the skin’s sebum levels.

3. Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Serum, $42

Though our skin tends to get oily during hot, humid days, it does not mean we should skip applying hydrating serums.
