The Body Shop Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet

I know I shouldn't be because of my oily skin I'm always slightly wary of moisturisers. 

So many of them are just too heavy for my skin and they leave my pores feeling clogged and my skin heavy and greasy, definitely not what you want on stinking hot summers days!

So in my hunt for the perfect summer moisturiser I turned to The Body Shop and one of their new products, the Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet.

This moisturiser is designed to hydrate and refresh your skin with its lightweight formula.

 
Now this is not like any other moisturiser I have come across. It doesn't have the look or texture of a moisturiser.

 

I'd describe it as a hybrid gel-serum.

It is matte in appearance and silky smooth to touch.

A little goes a long way with this product and the moisturiser glides over the skin sinking in immediately leaving no trace.

 

It has a beautiful, delicate, summery fragrance and my skin felt instantly refreshed soft and smooth.

My face felt moisturised and hydrated without the tell-tale shininess I normally get when using a moisturiser.

 

Because it is such a light formula it's perfect for me, but I would say that if you have dry skin you would probably need something slightly heavier.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet is available now and costs £12.
