Long video calls or extreme heat, there are a few things you can do to help refresh and protect your skin. For those with dry or sensitive skin, the heat can be quite dehydrating, especially if you reside in a dry climate. Applying a daily moisturiser can help, but sometimes, you need an extra something to take the edge off. Enter face mists, little wonder potions that are packed with extra nutrients that will heal your skin. 

You may wonder, can you not simply splash your face with water instead? While this may sound like a good idea, it does not always work, because once the water evaporates, the skin ends up becoming drier than before. Face mists, on the other hand, contain skin-loving ingredients like essential oils or rose water that moisten your skin from within. For those who would like an extra surge of TLC, consider our favourite selections to try this season.
