1. Biodynamic Lifting Oil Free Fluid

While this fluid is designed for oily, acne-prone skin, it's also a great moisturiser for all skin-types in humid climates because it gives skin a matte appearance.

2. Picture Perfect Facial Moisturiser

Containing sunscreen and oat bran which absorbs excess oil, this is a sensible summer choice.

The gel cream version of this cult product is perfect for hot climates. It has all the benefits of the original and leaves skin feeling fresh.

Use this light version of Dr Hauschka's cream during the summertime – it contains rose and beeswax which help protect against the elements.
