Sḵwálwen Botanicals – Changing the Face of Skincare
Rehydrate your skin with one of these top facial mists for a dewy summer glow
Facial mists often get written off as just water in a spray bottle—but find the right one and these nutrient-packed formulas will keep your skin hydrated, refreshed and feeling clean all day long. Keeping in mind that everyone has different skin types, we’ve selected some of the top products in the market so that you can give your skin that extra spritz of love, care and glow it deserves.
Here are 10 facial sprays we’re loving this summer…
Lush’s all-natural vegan toner is made of rose water and lavender—both which help to soothe and purify the skin. If your face is prone to irritation and redness during the summer heat, then this is a product you should definitely keep in your bag.
Ideal for all skin types, this spray by Mario Badescu is like a drink of water for your face. We love how it’s made with a bunch of botanical ingredients—like rose, gardenia and thyme—that give you a long-lasting glow. It can even be used before or after applying makeup, and in your hair as well!
Here’s a classic with a number of benefits. Made with 100 percent natural mineral water, this cooling mist is hypo-allergenic, safe for all skin types, and will keep your face fresh day and night. Toss it in your bag and use it whenever you want to re-energize your skin and remove perspiration.Also available at Sephora for $15
This top-rated face mist is super gentle on the skin and delivers lasting hydration. It’s made with Philosophy’s exclusive micro-renewal technology to keep you looking dewy, fresh, and it will also improve your skin’s texture over time.
Made from a base of coconut water and flower petals, this plant-based face mist by Herbivore is not only effective, but smells great too! Other calming ingredients include aloe vera and witch hazel, which work to tighten skin and reduce inflammation. This one’s sure to become a favourite!
Filled with green goodies like kale and spinach, this nourishing spray is the perfect afternoon pick-me-up for your skin. All of First Aid Beauty’s products are gluten-free, oil-free and 100 percent vegan, which makes this little bottle a great pick for sensitive skin. It’s naturally scented with cucumber and also seals your makeup for the day.
Throw this refreshing spray in your beach bag and give your face a good spritz whenever you need to re-energize. Packed with cooling nutrients like cucumber, aloe vera and Vitamin B3, it will not just rehydrate, but also tone your skin and give you a perfect, dewy glow.
This nourishing spray from Winnipeg-based Huna Apothecary includes natural ingredients like rose water, aloe vera and watermelon extract to hydrate and refresh your skin in the summer heat. The plant-based formula actually creates a humectant effect, pulling moisture from the surrounding environment into your skin—like a cool glass of water for your face!
Okoko’s Summer Mist boosts hydration, has a refreshing effect, and is made to actually work together with your sunblock to protect your skin against UV damage. Using a new active ingredient—Venuceane (a microalgae barely known in the green beauty industry yet)—this formula is heat-activated and will provide even more protection when the sun hits your face.
From Vancouver-based Delia Organics, this rosemary facial mist is perfect to carry in your purse and spritz as often as needed to cool down. Besides hydrating your skin and boosting your mood, the nutrients of rosemary can help protect skin cells from damage often caused by the sun and free radicals.
