With temperatures rising and my air con free office turning into a stinking sweatbox, I swap out heavier formulations and look for refreshing skin care. What could be more refreshing on a hot day than the blast of a facial mist.
I’m a mist addict so wanted to show you around my collection of summer skin saviours that take me from sticky mess to dewy goddess in seconds!

Lush
Breath of fresh air
Refreshing and soothing, a hot weather favourite. The seaweed extract is reminiscent of holidays by the sea which makes sitting at my desk that teeny bit more bearable. Deliciously cooling. It is less misty and more ‘big droppy’ though to use but i can live with this (even if i get it on my top!).
Balance Me
Skin Bright Toning Mist
More skin treatment than refresher, this Hyaluronic Acid rich spritz hydrates and brightens, great for a mid afternoon pick me up, refreshes the skin and makes you look dewy fresh. The scent is reminiscent of my grandfather’s rose garden, I have a wave of nostalgia every time is use it.
Avene
Thermal Spring Water
Just spring water which is clinically proven to be soothing and anti inflammatory. This is invaluably soothing when my skin is sensitive or in the midst of a histamine reaction - which happens far too often in summer! Also heavenly on flights.
Claudia Fallah
Calming Herbal Lotion
Rich in calming aloe vera, healing thyme and lavender, soothing chamomile and softening honey, this is my go-to post treatment calmer. Claudia is one of the most inspirational women I’ve ever met and her products are, without exception, extraordinary.
Jurlique
Activating Water Essence
Less of a spritz and more of a splash, this refreshing splash is a hardcore hydrator. I have a good splash in the morning post cleansing and before I use an essence or serum and my complexion looks dewy for hours longer than it would without it. It smells gorgeous and feels just as good.
