This scorching heat in KL is no friend to those with dry skin, or oily skin. It’s important that we stay hydrated and keep our skin moisturised, because nothing about dehydrated and parched skin is good for you.
In fact, any signs of ageing thrive when skin is dry, it’s easier for fine lines to show and dehydrated skin usually looks a little more sallow and thin (than plump and juicy skin). With the heat in mind, we’ve developed this list of moisture-rich products that will not only hydrate you, but they are filled with anti-aging and antioxidant properties.
1. Sorabee Balancing Lotion
Prevent dry skin with the Sorabee Balancing Lotion. It is a day and night moisturiser specially formulated to provide maximum hydration and balance to rejuvenate skin. It moisturises deep in your skin cells and leaves skin feeling nourished and purified.

3. Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation (Available at Sephora)
This is an oil-free, lightweight moisturizer that nourishes skin as it gently exfoliates and fades dark spots.
A potent blend of actiwhite™, licorice, and vitamin C help fade dark spots, even skintone, and prevent premature signs of aging while botanical fruit acids gently exfoliate and retexturize.
The calming blend of sandalwood, geranium, and chamomile soothes, balances, and purifies the skin to minimize pores while glycerin lightly hydrates. Sugar cane and multifruit AHAs gently exfoliate to refine texture, even tone, and soften the look of fine lines as vitamin C brightens and provides antioxidant protection from environmental aggressors. Vitamin E heals, restores, and nourishes the skin, leaving you with a healthy-looking, smooth, refreshed complexion.
5. Algenist Power Advanced Wrinkle Fighter Moisturiser (Available at Sephora)
A moisturizer that corrects the appearance of deep wrinkles using the power of natural, whole microalgae.
This algae-powered moisturizer harnesses the power of highly concentrated proteins found in microalgae cells to help reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles and increase skin’s hydration. The formula visibly improves skin’s firmness and elasticity and improves skin’s overall texture, as well as visibly strengthening the appearance of skin.
6. belif – the true cream aqua bomb
Aqua Bomb is an ultra-lightweight, mineral oil-free gel-cream that instantly cools and refreshes skin while providing intensive hydration. This formula contains a blend of apothecary herbs, including antioxidant-rich lady’s mantle, which helps neutralize skin-damaging free radicals, improves skin elasticity, and minimizes the appearances of pores. This refreshing cream is formulated to ‘burst’ when applied, releasing a flood of weightless moisture onto skin, and then absorb completely for a healthy, smooth, supple appearance.
