Choosing the right summer skincare routine can present some challenges.

We know we should be switching to a more lightweight moisturiser and increasing our exfoliation for the hot summer months but it can be hard to know where to start — and, beyond that, finding products that are affordable. 

So we scoured all the latest and tried-and-tested skin care products perfect for summer that will not harm any purses.

Here are our top skincare buys you should strongly consider grabbing on your next trip to the mall this summer.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Daily Moisturiser SPF25 - Clicks, R141

Skin has a tendency to become dehydrated in the summer due to exposure to the sun, air conditioning and chemicals such as chlorine in pools. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Daily Moisturiser can help restore moisture with hyaluronic acid, a formula which helps keep skin actively hydrated throughout the day and helps strengthen skin's barrier to protect against moisture loss.

Eucerin Even Brighter Spot Corrector - Clicks, R185.95

Dark spots are more likely to form on our skin with increased sun exposure. If you noticed dark spots on your face you can help fade their appearance with a spot corrector. 

Eucerin Even Brighter Spot Corrector not only reduces the appearance of dark spots, it also helps repair cell damage caused by prematurely ageing UV-sunlight.
