Even certain baking goals actually became descriptions of certain skincare goals (anyone remember when “buttery skin” was trending circa 2019?). This personal realization might have popped right into my mind as I was whipping up a batch of fluffy pancakes, but it also helped click things right into place when I realized why Youth to the People’s Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream has been the savior for my oily skin this summer. To buy: $48; youthtothepeople.com. Before you say anything—no, it’s not just because of the name. Sure, whipping is my favorite of the baking verbs, but I did fall in love with Youth to the People’s moisturizer because its consistency is everything that “whipped” should mean: Light as air, but so creamy at the same time, without ever feeling tacky or sticky. Its lightweight, non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) formula is perfect for my summertime skincare “recipe,” and even though it’s ultra-lightweight, it’s still so moisturizing that I never have to deal with the tightening sensation that can happen when you’re using a face cream that isn’t hydrating enough. The cream also melts into my skin instantly like warm butter glides onto fresh biscuits, leaving it unbelievably smooth and soft. It’s not surprising that Youth to the People made the perfect moisturizer for my skin—after all, the brand’s facial oil and cleanser are my all-time favorites in their categories. Plenty of reviewers concur with me, too. One called the moisturizer “perfect for humid climates,” while another said it’s been their “favorite for years” that “smells so fresh and natural, and gives [them] just enough moisture without leaving [them] feeling greasy.” Frankly, the Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream is good enough to eat (but don’t, though). If you have oily skin like me, Youth to the People’s moisturizer might just be the missing ingredient in your skincare routine that you need. Shop it here now. To buy: $48; youthtothepeople.com.
