Top 3 Luxury Moisturisers for Combination Skin 2016

Having combination skin can be awkward to say the least...one day your face is oily, the next dry, or even worse...the two at once. Finding the right products to combat this up and down oiliness can be a challenge, but luckily for you I have tested the best moisturisers out there and have some recommendations for you!

Here are the top 3 moisturisers for combination skin in 2016...


1. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel


Notice the word "gel" instead of "cream", this means

that this product is lightweight and oil free while still

being generously hydrating - perfect for combination

skin types.  Enables a matte finish without

compromising on hydrating which is great for

immediate makeup application afterwards.

Dramatically Different lives up to the Clinique name -

promising quality and expertise from years and years

of practise.


2. Dermalogica Active Moist Lotion

Priding themselves on a range of high quality

natural products, Dermalogica only use natural

ingredients to achieve optimal results. This Active

Moist Lotion is no different - featuring lemon,

cucumber, and burdock to create a caring and fuss-

free option for those with combination skin. This

smart lotion works to hydrate the skin while

making sure that the skin's natural oil balance is

kept in check. Ideal for sensitive skin types.



3. Sakare Hydrating Mineral Complex Moisturiser



 "A beautifully light yet potent skin hydrator, which can be used day or night to lock in moisture and also provides anti-ageing benefits" - Sakare Website

This product is extra smart - it utilises red algae 

in order to enhance the skin's natural ability to 

retain moisture, rather than simply overloading

your skin with more than it can handle. In turn, 

this means that your skin is left ultra hydrated, 

but without any excess oiliness. Genius. As if that wasn't enough, this product is also enriched with 

strong anti-ageing elements that will give skin of any age a youthful glow.

New from Sakare! 24K Gold Cleansing Milk: Review

This daily cleanser is anything but ordinary, it's the perfect mixture between high-luxury and practicality. Sakare recently added this gem to their 24K Gold range, the most opulent of products in the whole Sakare family. I just had to check it out as soon as I heard that it was on the market.

The most uplifting cleanser...ever!

This product simply feels beautiful to use. Gently lather a generous amount up into a milky cream before massaging all over the face and neck. Rinse off with warm water and pat skin dry with a warm towel for optimal results. Although this is a gentle product it will remove makeup which is great for saving time. I would recommend, however, to remove eye makeup first with a separate remover as you don't want to get too much of this stuff directly in your eyes.




Cleanses, moisturises, and balances skin (no matter what type)

Yes your skin will be left feeling clean and smooth after a single use of the Sakare 24K Gold Cleanser, but it does so much more than that. Whatever skin type you have (oily, dry, combination, or a mixture of all three!) this product will help to even oil levels to balance out your skin. Say goodbye to extra grease or dry patches, as the perfect combination of calendula and real gold will restore skin back to an ideal, healthy complexion.

There you have it, when I say uplifting I mean you will truly feel like you have perfect skin after using this wonder product. Follow with 24K Gold Moissturising Cream for ultimate results. The most luxurious skincare experience that will impress even the most enlightened skincare connoisseurs!
