5 Reasons Why You Need To Switch To A Gel-based Moisturiser
Written by Sanya HamdaniMay 08, 2020
Slathering your skin with thick and heavy moisturisers, especially during hot summer months is absolutely no fun. Instead, using a gel-based moisturiser is the smart thing to do.
A gel-based moisturiser contains the cooling properties of a gel along with moisturising goodness of a cream. They are light-weight in nature and absorb quickly into the skin without leaving any greasy residue behind. Great, no? Ahead, reasons why you need to switch to a gel-based moisturiser right away.
Summertime can be particularly harsh for your skin. Even after layering on sunscreen, your skin can end up looking red and flushed. Applying a gel-based moisturiser will instantly calm and soothe your skin. To enhance the experience, store the gel moisturiser in the fridge for sometime before using.
Hydrates the skin
Dehydrated skin can look dry and dull. Hence, it’s necessary to give your skin a good dose of hydration during the hot summer months. The Ponds Super Light Gel Oil Free Moisturiser is a water-based formula that also contains hyaluronic acid which retains moisture in the skin for a longer period of time.
Suitable for sensitive skin
Sensitive skin type can easily react to certain ingredients in skincare products. A gel-based moisturiser contains water, hyaluronic acid, glycerine and other such gentle ingredients which keep the skin calm and sensitivity away.
Perfect for summer
As mentioned earlier, summertime is difficult for your skin; it sweats more than usual and slathering on a creamy moisturiser will only lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Instead, opt for a gel-based moisturiser to get dewy and fresh skin without all the greasiness.
Absorbs quickly
Gel-based moisturisers get absorbed quickly into the skin and locks in moisture, keeping your skin looking plump and healthy. Also, if you’re someone who loves wearing makeup, a gel-based moisturise is your best bet as it won’t cause your makeup to melt-down.
