Gel moisturisers are some of my favourites, for the most part they’re lightweight, feel soothing on the skin and are great at giving hydration, who wouldn’t want a product that meets those specifications?
Based on your message, I can’t help think of a better
product to recommend than the Illamasqua Hydra Veil Gel. It’s not 100%
natural and does contain a few iffy ingredients, but it is free of
parabens. This gel is designed to be used as a hybrid product, part
moisturiser, part primer and can be used as part of your nighttime
skincare routine or in the morning before makeup application. The gel
formula mimics the refreshing hydration of water, making skin feel super
hydrated and revitalized. It doesn’t feel greasy, oily, or drying and
instead absorbs into the skin immediately, making it perfect for use
before makeup. Tip: If you can get to an Illamasqua counter, I’d
recommend doing so as most carry small travel sized deluxe samples so
you can try before you buy.
Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Gel
The moment I read your question the first product to pop into my mind was the Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Gel. I’m a huge fan of the Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus range and this product is no exception. A lightweight, “water like” gel I’ve used this product time and time again, it provides great hydration and smooths out the skin, plus Jurlique claim it helps protect against environmental aggressors making it perfect for use under makeup,
Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Detox Bouncy Hydrating Gel
A new addition to my collection, Peter Thomas Roth isn’t a brand I’ve had a lot of experience with, but I’m glad that I managed to try this product. This super light-weight moisturising gel which dries down to a matte finish so skin never looks greasy, yet still maintains a natural glow. It is one of the most interesting formulas I’ve tried and is fantastic for those prone to redness and sensitive skin as the cucumber helps to soothe and calm irritation throughout the skin. Like Jurlique this is also said to protect against damaging environmental radicals
