This is
my daytime moisturiser, discovered after a chance encounter with the Philosophy
concession at Westfield Boots. I’m in constant battle with forehead shine
throughout the course of any given day, and the idea of a moisturiser that
moisturised without oiling, and is not so light as to dry me out like an aged
husk, was a beguiling one. I bit. I bought a jar.
I’m now
onto my third jar. The formulation seems to have changed somewhat between jar 2
and 3, maybe there was a recipe change or maybe it’s just a weird batch, but
either way it does the job.
The
texture takes a little getting used to – it’s definitely not the same as the
creams you might otherwise be used to, and it goes on and in almost too easily.
And for about 5 minutes after you’ve applied it you might find yourself
thinking, as I do almost every day, ‘dammit I should’ve put more on’, but give it time and your skin feels lovely
and cool and nourished and smooth and not at all heavy. I shove on my standard
issue tinted moisturiser straight on top on work days – no problems with drying
out, no problems with shine. It’s an odd little thing, but a good one.
