It’s official – summer is here! So bring out your lemonades, lassis, and mojitos and push all the thick and creamy moisturizers to the back of your vanity if you have oily skin like me! Summer means extra humidity, sweat and sebum for us oily-skinned folks and our skin demands light-weight moisturizers. In today’s blog post I will be talking about some of the best moisturizers for oily skin in summer.
Do note that this post does not include the Clinique Moisture Surges and Aloe gels of the world, because these are already popular and don’t need my vote of confidence. My list is focussed on light-weight lotions and gel moisturizers that have some bonus ingredients for oily skin. Plus, all of these products fall under INR 700 with discount codes, and most are below INR 500. The best part, you can get all the similar products on the MorLuxury app –which is soon to launch with exciting offers.

6. Dr. Sheth’s Bakuchiol And Peptide Serum

I will recommend this moisturizer for oily skin for nighttime use in summer. It has some amazing anti-aging and firming ingredients like peptides and bakuchiol along with nourishing ingredients like Vitamin E and plant oils. It is also fragrance-free.
