How nice is it with the sun finally out woohoo!! It FINALLY feels like summer is coming (we hope!). Summer’s all about enjoying the simple pleasures – and don’t we all love an Aperol or Hugo Spritz while basking in the glorious sunshine, but my newest obsession for the season is a skincare spritz!
Picture this: you’re relaxing with a cool spritzer, and your skin is feeling just as refreshed. Zelens’ Microbiota P3 Balancing Mist RRP £56 works to support your skin’s natural microbiome, creating a balanced and healthy foundation for a luminous complexion. It’s like a probiotic boost for your face, setting the stage for a radiant summer glow.
Next, you can enhance your skin’s natural defences with NIOD’s Superoxide Dismutase Saccharide Mist (SDSM2) RRP £40. The advanced formula protects against environmental stressors and reduces visible signs of ageing, leaving your skin feeling calm, refreshed, and ready for anything. It’s the perfect antidote to a long day in the sun.
For this of you who are new to Skincare Spritz, here’s the skinny:
A skincare spritz—also known as a facial mist or face spray—is a lightweight, water-based product designed to be sprayed directly onto the skin to refresh, hydrate, or prep it during your skincare or makeup routine.
What It Does:
- Hydrates: Contains humectants (like glycerin or hyaluronic acid) that attract moisture to the skin.
- Refreshes: Instantly cools and revives tired or dull-looking skin.
- Soothes: Often infused with calming ingredients like rose water, chamomile, aloe vera, or cucumber extract.
- Sets makeup: Some facial mists help set makeup for a dewy or natural finish.
- Boosts absorption: When used before serums or moisturizers, it can help improve product penetration.
When to Use It:
- After cleansing (as a toner substitute)
- Before or after applying serum or moisturizer
- As a midday skin refresher (especially in hot, dry, or air-conditioned environments)
- After makeup application for a natural, glowy finish
Common Ingredients:
Thermal spring water
Botanical extracts
Antioxidants (such as green tea)
Essential oils (in some formulas)
Glycerin or hyaluronic acid for moisture retention
A skincare spritz is essentially a quick, skin-loving pick-me-up you can use anytime your skin feels dry, tight, or tired.
This summer, I’ll be indulging in a delicious Spritz in one hand and a radiant, protected complexion in the other!
