Summer spritzing

I use spray toners all year round, but it’s summer when I really up the ante.

I find they really cool me down and give my face the refreshment it craves during hot, humid days. I always have one on hand, and even carry one in my purse for an instant pick-me-up. I find they’re especially useful if you’re out all day (say, at the beach or a music festival) and then have evening plans that don’t factor in time to go home and freshen up. A few sprays on your face and neck and even in your hair is usually enough to make you feel fresher.

I thought I’d give a run-down of three of my favourites. I’ve tried a countless number and these are the ones I continue to go back to.

1. Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater
   This spray is both refreshing and moisturizing. It has a light, flowery scent and gives your skin a nice, dewy glow when applied directly after foundation or tinted moisturizer.

2. John Masters Organics Lavender Hydrating Mist for Skin and Hair
   This soothing spray has anti-inflammatory properties, which I find essential in the summer. Skin can get red and blotchy from the heat, but a quick spritz can help calm the skin’s surface. I also love that this spray is meant for both skin and hair.
3. Refresh Me Rosewater Toner
   I like the light scent and fine mist of this toner. It’s great for setting make-up, and if you keep it in the fridge, I find it makes for a great morning refresher for your skin. Don’t get me wrong, I still need my coffe, but this is a nice bonus!
