Beauty Tried And Tested: Oil Free Moisturisers
Want to know what the best beauty products are before you buy? LOOK is here to help... this week our very own Beauty Editor Sophie Beresiner and LOOK reader Emma Hallsworth have put oil-free moisturisers to the test...
Beauty Editor: This smelt wonderful and it was so light I could hardly feel it on my skin. It’s a bit pricey but the anti-ageing mimosa makes it a great investment product. Emma: This had a nice smooth finish and made my skin feel soft and clean. My skin was moisturised but not shiny – perfect! Beauty Score: 3/5
Beauty Editor: The best for sensitive skin. This dual-purpose product actually exfoliates and moisturises skin in one go. By my calculations, that’s an extra 10 minutes in bed.Emma: Although this was the thickest of the lot, it was still easy to apply. It made my skin feel a bit sticky, but was really moisturising. Beauty Score: 4/5
- Face Boutique Fresh Faced Oil-Free Moisturiser, £12
Beauty Editor: This is specially designed for young skin as it balances the amount of oil, meaning less breakouts. Emma: I was quite surprised when this came out clear, not white, but it made my skin feel smooth and soft. Although the gel was thick, it sank in quickly. I’d use it again. Beauty Score: 5/5
- Kerstin Florian Spa Face Clarifying Sorbier Crème, £24
Beauty Editor: An ultra-light cream that felt instantly calming on my face and kept it hydrated for hours. My pores looked smaller and my skintone was more even. Emma: I wasn’t sure about this at first because it smelt plasticy, but it sank in quickly and made my skin super-soft and much brighter. Beauty Score: 3/5
