Whether you’re under the sun a lot or stuck in an air-conditioned office all day (sometimes all night, depending on how badly you want that promotion), if there is one thing you need in your makeup bag, it’s your favorite Face Mist or Spray. Well, unless you don’t wear any makeup at all – then good old H20 will suffice. But for the 99% of us, including this Careergal, this is the only way to keep ourselves feeling somewhat refreshed (and sane) after 12 hour workdays or overnight work days (girls got deadlines to meet, so bring on the mist).
Here are four different types of sprays I like to use: Avene Eau Terhmale Thermal Spring Water (From Paris- great for AM), The FaceShop Bee Venom Solution Mist (From Seoul – great for AM), Reorom Hydra Secret Spray Serum (From Seoul-after Make Up), and Nature Republic Argan 20 Essential Toner (From Seoul – great for PM, before bed).
Some mists/sprays are better to use after putting on makeup (some actually helps in setting the makeup on your skin) and some are better to use as a toner for your bare skin (either in AM or PM).
Avene – 5/5 diamonds !!!
Highly recommended (I bought as many as I could carry in my suitcase when I was in Paris last fall.) French drugstore super-star!!! You can spray these on right after you take a shower in AM, come back from jogging, and/or when your skin feels tight from dryness. I usually use this BEFORE putting makeup on. It’s soft, subtle, beautifully rich but light texture. Check it out – Avene Thermal Water
THEFACESHOP – 4/5 Diamonds !!
Very subtle, sweet-smelling mist, reportedly made with Royal Jelly extract. (See benefits of Royal Jelly here) THEFACESHOP is great for cost-conscious shoppers. Great for AM or PM use. I wouldn’t recommend it for after makeup, because it can get a little sticky and it’s not as absorbent as Avene. But if you’re not ready to invest more than $15 on a mist bottle, this one is a great grab. I believe they have repackaged the product since I last made my purchase, but you can easily purchase these on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1DsdVpG
REOROM – 5/5 Diamonds !!!
Reorom is the reason I really started my love affair with mists. (This mist makes your skin GLOW) This bottle is like an elixir of magical minerals that just keeps my makeup intact for 10 hours straight. Unlike other mists/sprays here, you DO NOT need to pat your face after spraying this on. In fact, I recommend that you DON’T touch your face after you put this on. This mist is what really helps your makeup to set onto your skin; spray it on in a circular motion (after eyeshadow/lipstick, etc.) and let it air dry. Unfortunately, these are nearly impossible to find unless you live close to an Asian/Korean cosmetics store in the U.S or you have someone in Korea who’s nice enough to ship it to you. Here’s the website: www.kgclifengin.com . It may pop up on Ebay from time to time as well.
NATURE REPUBLIC – 4/5 Diamonds !!
From none other than my favorite brand, NATURE REPUBLIC !! Containing argan oil, this mist works as a toner for your face.
I believe Nature Republic has an entire line of Argan Oil products. This spray is one of them. I enjoy using this spray after taking a shower at night – it sprays on thicker than Avene or THEFACESHOP products, and feels much more suitable for bedtime. Spray it on and pat dry onto your skin after 2-3 minutes. On nights when you’re too tired/lazy/pressed for time for your regular bedtime skin-care routine, skip everything else and just spray this toner on. (It keeps your face moist throughout the night)
TIPS!
- Summer nights can be hot!! And humid, depending on where you live. Feel free to leave these sprays in the refrigerator to keep them COOL.
- Recycle! Almost all of these sprays/mists come in containers that can be recycled. Please don’t forget to “skin-care” our beautiful planet as well.
