Why a face mist should be your next beauty buy

I love any product that can add some glow to the complexion and face mists are the perfect way to quickly hydrate your skin.  An added bonus, it also puts some life back into your foundation throughout the day.

As you can see, I have quite a few in my stash plus a few more lying around including the Beauty Fix mist, which is my current fav.

I love any way to plump up the complexion and I find that a lot of models on set have dehydrated skin. So, a mist is the perfect way to hydrate, fast.

If you suffer from sensitive skin with redness and irritation, the thermal mist from Avène and the Barbor Cleansing CP Thermal spray are winners, plus they are a great way to freshen up the complexion and keep cool in the hot days.

As well as keeping skin hydrated throughout the day, the mists also help with long term-hydration - like my Benefit Ultra radiance mist with its tri-radiance complex - it's also an easy way to freshen up makeup that has lost a bit of its lustre. The Body Shop Vitamin E mist is another great skin pick-me-up product that allows makeup to set faster - it also smells amazing.

I am a massive fan of spritzing skin before and during a shoot. The MAC Mineralise charged water or Fix + are great favourites. They help revitalise, energise and enliven the models' skin. The charged water is infused with refreshing green tea and it keeps the complexion soft and supple. The Fix + helps to apply makeup more easily and is mineral rich, which helps to freshen up the skin.

Now, if you are looking for a spoil-yourself mist and want to splurge or buy a gift for a loved one this holiday, then the La Mer mist is pretty incredible. It's formulated with marine botanical extracts and infuses the skin with nutrients.
