Sensitive skin
Sensitive skin is prone to flare-ups, rashes and redness. To minimise the chance of your skin getting ‘upset’, try products that are water-based and fragrance-free. This one from Neutrogena is also dermatologist-tested, and is oil and alcohol free so it won’t dry out or irritate the skin in any way. Try Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Moisturiser, $13.99
Dry skin
Emollients like plant oils are the best nourishing ingredients for dry skin, as they help to strengthen the skin’s protective layer, resulting in higher water retention. They’re also good at filling in the spaces between rough skin cells so your skin feels smoother when you touch it. This product by Coast To Coast contains macadamia to hydrate and lots of antioxidants to fight free radicals that contribute to wrinkles and other signs of ageing. Try Coast To Coast Anti-Oxidant Lotion, $39.95 or Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel, $24.99
Oily skin
A lightweight lotion works perfectly for oily skin as it won’t clog up pores or make your skin produce more sebum. This Bioderma product works to mattify skin and can also absorb up any excess oil throughout the day, keeping you looking fresher for longer. Try Bioderma Sebium Mat, $27.99
Combination skin
You’ll often notice that just a certain area like your forehead or T-zone gets a bit shiny by midday, if you’ve got combination skin. A moisturiser rich in essential oils boosts hydration levels deep within all layers of the skin, and the special addition of zinc can absorb excess sebum in problematic areas. Try L’Occitane Angelica Ultra Matte Fluid, $45
