Love it: Mario Badescu Oil-Free SPF30 Moisturiser

Romanian skin care guru Mario Badescu is the man behind the skin care range that Hollywood’s It girls rely on to stay fresh-faced and fabulous, and his elegant salon on Manhattan’s East Side remains the spa of choice for savvy New Yorkers and celebrities alike. His creations incorporate natural ingredients based on soothing botanicals, essential vitamin oils and fruit extracts, which combined with advanced technology mean an end result which rejuvenates and protects the skin.
Many of his products are multi purpose – which I love – and one in particular is the perfect answer to the crazy weather happening right now. It’s simply called Oil-Free SPF30 Moisturiser, and is a godsend for anyone with oilier skin who is truly suffering in the Southern Hemisphere’s high humidity and unpredictable weather patterns. The intense antioxidant property of green tea is the secret behind the moisturizer as it helps protect the skin against aging. It doesn’t clog your pores, and it’s free of parabens whilst UVA and UVB protection prevents sun damage and acne scarring. Aloe Vera locks in your skin’s moisture and makes it soft, while St. John’s Wort sooths and repairs. It can be used on combination, sensitive, oily or acne-prone skin, and is also an ideal supplement to protect skin against the side effects of acne medicine. Its RRP is just NZD$59.00, and it’s available locally at Nuffield’s Street’s Glamorpuss Cosmetics and online right now. What are you waiting for?
