We get it. Dealing with Singapore's sticky humidity can make slathering on sunscreen and moisturiser feel like a gross, gloopy mess. But here's a quick and dirty guide to the best lightweight options that'll change your game.
These champs are perfect for muggy weather-they sink in fast, never feel sticky or heavy, and keep your skin hydrated and protected. So, even when the humidity hits hard, your skincare routine stays strong effortless, effective, and completely unnoticeable.
Why even moisturise?
You might wonder why bother with moisturiser in Singapore, where the air feels like you are in a permanent steam room. Surprisingly, high humidity can dehydrate your skin. Here's the scoop: humid air causes you to sweat more, which can strip moisture from your skin.
Additionally, many of us retreat to air-conditioned indoors, which further dries the skin. So, slathering on moisturiser is like giving your skin a cool sip of water on a sweltering day-it keeps your skin healthy, plump, and comfortable, despite being enveloped in clammy heat.
Pick your poison
Choosing the right moisturiser for a humid climate is crucial. Opt for lightweight formulas such as gel-based or serum-infused moisturisers. These products provide essential hydration without a heavy or sticky feel, making them perfect for daily use and keeping your skin fresh and comfortable.
Focus on key ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin, which efficiently attract and retain moisture from the environment to your skin. Aloe vera is also beneficial for its soothing properties, which help calm skin irritation caused by the heat. These ingredients are fundamental in ensuring your skin remains hydrated without feeling overloaded.
