A cooling facial spray works to keep you (and your nervous system) as cool and calm as possible in this intensely hot heat.
While I’m thoroughly enjoying soaking up the hot weather, predictions of two 35+°C days in a row has me feeling ready to stick close by to ice-cold water. Thankfully, there are several ways to tweak your skincare routine to help you cool down, too.
You may be under the impression that you’re limited to products marked as a mist or facial spray, but setting sprays work just as well, even if you aren’t wearing makeup. Setting sprays, mists and facial sprays add an invigorating layer of hydration to the face, tackle dryness and can even revive dull-looking skin, among many other skincare benefits. Here are seven of the best cooling facial sprays to keep you on the right side of good-tempered this week.
Caudalie Beauty Elixr
It’s certainly no surprise that this cult favourite is going viral on TikTok. It’s infused with skin-loving ingredients like green grape, rosemary essential oil and botanical extracts, which all help with a multitude of skin wants from hydrating the skin to helping reduce skin redness.
Barry M Fresh Face Setting Spray Dewy
This dewy setting spray is a firm favourite in my handbag. It’s formulated with cucumber extract to hydrate and soothe the skin, as well as snow mushroom, which has anti-inflammatory properties and moisturising benefits for the skin.
