Skin + Me’s Daily Moisturiser with SPF50

Why Skin + Me’s Daily Moisturiser with SPF50 Is the Oily-Skin Hero You’ve Been Waiting For?

I am a big sun cream enthusiast and have spent years trying to find products which don't irritate my skin, make my eyes sting, don't leave a white cast and are not ridiculously priced. So when given the chance to try Skin + Me which has been specially formulated for oily to combination skin, I said yes.

If you’ve got oily or combination skin, you know the struggle is real: finding a moisturiser that hydrates without making your face look like a glazed doughnut, and a sunscreen that protects without clogging pores or leaving a greasy finish. Enter: Skin + Me’s Daily Moisturiser with SPF50—the multitasking game-changer your skincare routine didn’t know it needed.

💧 Lightweight Hydration, Zero Grease

Let’s get one thing straight: oily skin still needs moisture. But not just any moisture—lightweight, non-comedogenic hydration that balances the skin rather than overwhelming it. Skin + Me’s formula absorbs quickly, leaving a soft, smooth finish that never feels heavy or sticky. Think: quenched, not greasy.

☀️ Broad-Spectrum SPF50 Protection

Sun protection isn’t optional—it’s essential. With SPF50, this moisturiser shields your skin from UVA and UVB rays, helping to prevent premature ageing, pigmentation, and sun damage. The bonus? You don’t need to layer a separate SPF, making your morning routine that much quicker and easier.

🌿 Powered by Skin-Loving Ingredients

This isn’t your average SPF moisturiser. Skin + Me has packed their formula with high-performance ingredients that actually care for your skin:

• Ectoin: A powerful antioxidant known for supporting the skin barrier and protecting against environmental stressors.
• Rainbow Algae Extract: Not only does it sound magical, but it also helps to brighten skin and reduce inflammation.
• Glycerin: A hydration hero that draws moisture into the skin and locks it in all day.

🔄 Smart Design = No Waste

Skin + Me’s clever twist + click technology means you get the right amount of product every time—no squeezing, no mess, no waste. It’s dermatologist-designed for effectiveness and simplicity.

✨ Ideal for Oily & Combination Skin

If your skin gets oily in the T-zone but feels dry elsewhere—or if you’re prone to shine by midday—this moisturiser is made with you in mind. It hydrates where needed and balances where it counts, helping reduce excess oil without drying you out.

💬 The Verdict

Whether you’re a skincare minimalist or a 10-step routine enthusiast, Skin + Me’s Daily Moisturiser with SPF50 is a no-brainer. It streamlines your morning routine, protects your skin, and leaves you feeling fresh—not fried.

Can a £4 Viral Shampoo Really Deliver?

Can a £4 Viral Shampoo Really Deliver? I Put the M&S Nourishing Range to the Test

When I hear the word “viral,” I’m instantly curious. Like many beauty lovers, I’ve been lured in by the buzz around budget-friendly finds that promise high-end results. So when I spotted the M&S Beauty Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner, both priced at just £4, I had to give them a try.

These products have been making quiet waves online for their ingredient list and performance — and for good reason. The Nourishing range is infused with micro algae extract, which helps rebalance the scalp, and a blend of bergamot water and coconut oil to deliver much-needed moisture. But what really caught my eye? They're silicone- and sulphate-free — a rare find at this price point, and a big plus for anyone with fine hair or an oily scalp like mine.

Sustainable, Sensible & Scented Just Right

On the sustainability front, the shampoo and conditioner are vegan and packaged in fully recyclable bottles. The scent? Think refreshing sea salt meets green bergamot — clean, subtle, and ideal for a morning mood boost. My only quibble was the bottle design: no pump means it’s a bit tricky to handle mid-shower, especially with wet hands.

Performance That Surprised Me

Application-wise, the shampoo felt incredibly lightweight and easy to lather. Two washes later, my scalp felt clean but not stripped — a rare balance for a budget shampoo. The conditioner was where the magic really happened. Unlike many affordable conditioners that leave a film or fake shine, this one delivered real softness without buildup.

I applied it from roots to ends, let it sit for about five minutes, and rinsed. While the shine was a touch subtler than with some pricier products, there was no dryness or heaviness — just healthy, bouncy hair that felt freshly cut.

Final Thoughts

The beachy scent lingered for a solid two days (yes, I got compliments!), and my hair held up beautifully for three days before the roots got greasy again — standard for me. For £4 each, the M&S Nourishing range seriously overdelivers, the only thing missing is a pump for each bottle.

If you’re looking for an affordable, clean, and effective shampoo and conditioner duo that ticks the boxes for sensitive scalps, sustainable ingredients, and real results, this might be your next favourite.
