If you’re looking for a light-weight moisturizer that does it all, then this is the one you want! It’s so light it’s whipped, and it’s oil-free and has a built-in SPF 30, so it’s perfect for summer! Perfect! This is the one I use every day…

If you suffer from occasional acne breakouts, but also have dry skin, then you’ll need a moisturizer that addresses your dry skin without making you break out! This one does that perfectly! It’s light-weight, and not at all oily, plus it treats your acne and prevents new break outs with pimple-fighting Salicylic Acid.

This moisturizer is great for summer because it has a built-in sun protection of SPF 15. Put it on in the morning under your make-up, and you’re ready to go! I like it, too, because the tourmaline gives you an extra brilliant glow, without having to sacrifice safety for a tan…

I love this little spray! I carry it in my handbag and use it any time my skin feels a little thirsty! It’s designed to be used right over your make-up, and it works so well! I use my regular moisturizer in the morning, then I spritz this on whenever I want a little extra splash of moisture.

Yay, make-up and moisturizer in one! I love this product because it’s a great moisturizer with a built-in SPF 15, but it also evens my complexion with a little tint. And it leaves my skin so soft, but never oily… perfect for summer!
Price: $75.00 at sephora.com
This is far and away the lightest moisturizer I’ve ever used. It sinks in immediately after you apply it, but it’s so lush and leaves my skin so smooth! It’s also ideal for sensitive skin, and it won’t ever cause a break-out.

This is another great summer moisturizer, because it also has a built-in SPF 15. I also like it because it’s free of nasty parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, and dyes, petrochemicals, and phthalates. Yuck! Who wants that nasty stuff in their moisturizer?
Add one of these light summer moisturizers instead of your heavy winter cream, and you’re sure to glow all summer long with a nice matte finish, rather than a shiny one! Which of these moisturizers do you like best? Why? Or is there another one you like more? Please let me know!
