Lighter moisturizers
Lighter moisturizers
Putting on your usual moisturizer in winter is a pleasure. Its texture is unctuous and its aroma, velvety, envelops you and almost shelters you. But of course, summer comes and as soon as you touch your skin with it you get hot so you end up using it and you dress almost without drying your skin after the shower because you are cooler. But what if there were moisturizers capable of taking care of your skin without weighing you down ? Well, they exist and we know what they are …

Body yogurts are one of The Body Shop's latest launches for the summer, and the brand has realized that texture is key at this time. The 'body yogurts' are just as moisturizing as a classic cream but much fresher and lighter because its texture is more like a gel and is absorbed quickly.

Nivea Under Shower Dry Skin Conditioner, € 5.30
We leave the shower so cool after all day being hot and it is time to hydrate our skin (because remember, in the shower it dries up because of the hot water) and we are terribly lazy to put on the usual cream or oil . And it is that as soon as it touches our skin, we get overwhelmed and hot. We feel that our skin does not perspire, that the cream has clogged it so the next time we do not put it on. And so all summer …
At this time, the skin suffers more than necessary because it is always exposed, and not only to the sun; chlorine and pollution also damage it more so it is important not to skip that step. But what do we do not to die of a suffocation in the attempt? There are a multitude of options to maintain perfect skin without complications. Attentive
Best Light Body Moisturizer for Summer
- Lotions . As easy as changing your usual cream for a body lotion. As they contain a higher percentage of water they are much lighter so they absorb faster and do not leave that greasy feeling on the skin that we like so little now.
- Sprays . With just one spray, your skin will be soft and hydrated and all without having to fill your hands with product , something that discourages many people from using creams not only during the summer.
- Body yogurt. The gel texture of the body yogurts is a real pass. Give them a try! You will not regret.
- Shower oils . Can you imagine washing your body with an oil ? At the same time that it cleans, it hydrates! It is a wonder.
- Body conditioners. They have been in our lives for years and have become the salvation of the laziest when it comes to taking care of their skin. They are applied just like those of the hair and the sensation they leave on the skin is very pleasant.
