The summer months are amazing, but they have one slight downside, if you can call it that. The hot weather, well warmish (if you are in the UK) can dry out your skin, which can cause all sorts of problems! I've been on the look out for a day moisturiser to help counter the extra summer dryness I have been experiencing. In walks Neils Yard Orange Flower Daily Moisture and my summer skin is sorted.
I am loving this new addition to my skincare routine. It's a lightweight formula and I was surprised at how 'runny' it is for a hydrating moisturiser- I am used to thicker creams. But this is so lovely to use for the day. It absorbs into the skin very quickly, making a nice change from other hydrating moisturisers which can sit on the skin. The ingredients are as natural as possible, and include Aloe Vera and Neroli flower. The aloe vera ensures it is very easy for sensitive skin, helping to calm any redness as well as being super hydrating.
The Neroli flower gives the scent, it smells very like spiced orange. I always think it's a good idea to get samples of products that you want to invest in. This one especially is something I would test before you buy. I personally don't mind the scent, this is coming from someone who normally opts out of scented creams. This one is stronger than lots of other creams so make sure you like it before you buy it!

As a base for makeup it works really well. It absorbs very fast into the skin, it doesn't make it oily or greasy, so foundations work well on top of it and tend to last longer. The only thing to consider? It has no spf, so just make sure your makeup base has some sun protection, or use a separate spf if you need it.
As I am writing this from sunny Sicily so I only have my tiny travel size tube! But it normally comes in a 100ml bottle with a pump. Neals Yard also do a facial oil in the same scent which I am currently trying out too, I will let you know what I think of it very soon!

Have you got a summer skin saviour? I would love to know!
