La Mer The Moisturising Matte Lotion, $370.

Okay – here’s the straight-up truth. This S$#T is expensive. But you know what, some things are worth the spend and this is most definitely one of those things. We honestly do not know how they did it, but the brain boxes behind this brand somehow made a lotion that hydrates like nobody’s business yet also appears matte.

The result – soft, smooth, healthy skin that has little to no shine and provides the perfect balanced, refined complexion even in super steamy climates. Bloody genius!
