The hot summer trend of face mists is here to stay as our parched skin goes straight into central heating and cold air. So drink up this extra layer of moisture, added between your cleanser and serum! Alternatively, you can spritz it over your make-up to refresh foundation and watch it melt into your skin so there’s no obvious powdery layer.
“Keeping skin moisturised is crucial for maintaining healthy skin, especially as we get older,” says Dr Tom Mammone from Clinique Global Research & Development. “The moisture retention element of the skin’s barrier function gradually diminishes, therefore it loses its ability to retain water. Using a mist is great for those moments, especially on the go, when skin starts feeling dry, since it replenishes moisture levels and restores balance.”
Keep one of these skin pick-me-ups on your desk or in your bag no matter the weather. Here are our pick of the best ones yet…
