When the thermometer is +32, the body asks for only one thing - coolness and freshness. But if outside the window, instead of a colorful seascape, there is a hot asphalt jungle, there is only one thing left: to dream of distant shores and give your skin care and coolness from a spray bottle.

A can of refreshing thermal water will help you cheer up anywhere in just a couple of seconds, but for flights such a product is simply necessary: ​​everyone knows how dry the air on board an airplane is.

Refreshing body sprays not only give a light invigorating aroma, but also fully care for the skin, giving it smoothness and making it elastic. As a rule, such products are used immediately after a shower, when the body is still slightly damp.

Flower or grape water is an equally healing alternative to thermal water. These products contain not only purified water, but also caring extracts of plants and flowers. For example, cornflower and chamomile relieve irritation and dryness in the area around the eyes, calendula and witch hazel neutralize inflammation, lavender and orange fight excess oily skin, and rose smoothes the skin.

Perfumed body sprays can be a good alternative to the usual eau de toilette. This is especially true in summer: the sprays do not contain alcohol, and their aroma is light and unobtrusive.

Choose the spray that suits you!

The best moisturizing facial sprays: TOP 10

Hot summer is a difficult time for our skin: the sebaceous glands work to the limit, and the sun's rays dehydrate the epidermis. As a result, the skin becomes oily and lacks moisture. I advise you not to get carried away with frequent cleansing (standard washing twice a day, according to cosmetologists, is enough in the summer) and not to ignore the stage of moisturizing the skin. It is only important to choose the lightest possible product that is quickly absorbed and does not clog pores. It can be found in the format of gels, fluids, sorbets and, of course, skin sprays . I will dwell on the latter in more detail, because they can be used not only at certain times of the day, but also throughout the day, which makes the work environment so refreshing!

A bottle of Erborian Bamboo gel spray contains truly life-giving moisture: a patented moisturizing complex of bamboo juice and fibers, pumpkin oil that regulates sebum production, Japanese lily of the valley that soothes the skin and increases its barrier functions, oriental persimmon that helps tighten pores. It is better to apply this cocktail to a previously cleansed face, but even over makeup it refreshes and nourishes the skin.

An interesting new product has been released in the IBUKI line from Shiseido - an instant refreshing spray that allows you to care for your skin throughout the day. It has a light gel texture that absorbs excess sebum: using it, you can significantly reduce the consumption of mattifying wipes! The phytotarget complex in the spray supplies the skin with intracellular lipids and improves its texture.

Fans of organic cosmetics will love the floral water from Melvita : it comes in several variations, but I especially like the Orange Blossom spray. Water softens the skin, soothes it, and relieves redness. Perhaps it can hardly be considered an alternative to daily moisturizing care, but during the day it additionally cares for the skin.

KENZOKI products impress primarily with their aromas, so if you like bright fragrances, I advise you to pay attention to the “Fresh Lotus Soft Water” spray. It soothes the epidermis, maintains hydration, softens, and relieves fatigue. And it smells absolutely wonderful, as you already understood.

excellent moisturizing sprays : I especially like Balance™ with kelp and orange peel extract for oily and acne-prone skin. The product consists exclusively of organic components and has a very convenient dispenser that sprays the product in a fine cloud.

The concentrated mist Chanel Hydra Beauty Essence Mist deserves special attention : its delicate texture envelops the face in a veil of freshness with a subtle fruity aroma and perfectly fixes makeup. The patented active ingredient - Camellia Alba PFA** - helps skin cells restore and maintain optimal levels of hydration.

The perfect Peony tonic spray from L'Occitane can be used at any time of the day: its alcohol-free formula tightens pores and evens out skin texture, moisturizes and refreshes the face. In addition, you can use this spray to set your makeup - it lasts longer!

For those with oily, problem skin, it makes sense to take a closer look at the Ultraceuticals Ultra Balancing Skin Mist . It is multifunctional: it can be used as thermal water, as a tonic and even as a makeup fixer. Manufacturers claim that the product not only does not clog pores, but also cleanses them, helps get rid of rashes, relieves irritation and, of course, refreshes well.

The face spray from the Yves Rocher Sensitive Végétal series also has a calming effect : its formula contains extract of Sigesbeckia orientalis leaves, which has a beneficial effect on sensitive skin. The product does not contain fragrances, alcohol, dyes, mineral oils and parabens, so it is suitable even for those who are prone to allergies and dermatitis.

I decided to complete my review with Caudalie Beauty Elixir facial beauty water , developed according to the ancient recipe for the elixir of youth of Queen Isabella of Hungary. The spray smoothes the skin, gives it radiance and tightens pores. Like other products in my review, it is good at any time of the day: it awakens the skin in the morning, fixes makeup and moisturizes during the day, and is used as a toner in the evening. I am for multifunctionality, and you?


How to make a moisturizing facial spray at home

If it happened that during quarantine you ran out of your favorite spray, mist or thermal water, and the new product was not delivered in time, or you simply had time to experiment, there is a solution for beautyholics. Making a moisturizing facial spray at home is not as difficult as you might imagine.

Alternatively, you can use distilled water and natural essential oils. In order to make a moisturizing spray for the face, antibacterial oils are suitable for the care of oily skin: lavender, tea tree, eucalyptus, lemon, rosemary, as well as mattifying grape seed oil; for dry skin - essential oils of avocado, orange, neroli, rose petals ( more about essential oils for skin), for combination skin – jojoba, rosehip, pomegranate, chamomile, hazel oil. Just a few (4-5) drops of oil in a small spray bottle are enough to make a moisturizing facial mist: just mix clean water well with essential oils and you're done!

This option is suitable for girls who do not complain about reactive facial skin and have already used oils in their skincare routine more than once, which they want to add to a moisturizing facial spray. For everyone else, in order to avoid a severe allergic reaction, redness and irritation on the skin, it is recommended to try the following option.

Moisturizing facial spray with aloe and vitamin C

To prepare a moisturizing facial spray that is suitable for all skin types, you will need:

Distilled or still mineral water.

Aloe vera gel is a moisturizing component that revives dry, dehydrated, atopic skin, and also copes with rashes and is even suitable for caring for the skin around the eyes. Aloe vera gel can be ordered on iHerb or in online stores of Korean cosmetics (just carefully study the composition before ordering: many brands use a minimum of aloe vera or replace it with maltodextrin).

Vitamin C in ampoules is a star among antioxidants (and among the components of popular Korean cosmetics). It gives the skin a beautiful glow, brightens and protects against free radical attacks. This component can be found in almost any pharmacy. All you need to do is add the contents of one vitamin C ampoule to clean water and aloe vera gel to create an excellent moisturizing facial spray.

Try not to prepare a lot of spray to moisturize the skin at once, since at home you shouldn’t bother with choosing and maintaining the correct dosage of preservatives - which means that your product will not be able to be stored for the usual several months.

Life hack: in the case of a homemade skin moisturizing spray, storing it on the side shelf of the refrigerator will be the best solution.

Rules for applying sprays to moisturize facial skin

With the onset of summer, moisturizing sprays appear in almost all girls' cosmetic bags. However, you should remember a few rules for applying thermal water to the face so that the effect of its use is maximum:

  1. Sprays must be applied not to the skin, but from a distance of about 20 cm. In this case, you need to make movements with the bottle in the form of a figure eight or an arc. In addition, cosmetologists advise spraying a spray in the air in the form of a cloud, and then entering it. You don’t have to wait for the thermal water to dry completely, but gently blot it with a napkin. Moreover, it is recommended to do this if you use the spray in direct sunlight, because droplets of moisture in this case become like lenses and, by refracting ultraviolet rays, can provoke the appearance of microburns on the skin.
  2. Mists and mists are recommended for use after showering, swimming in sea water and sports training, as they are enriched with microelements, aromatic and antiseptic substances. A convenient spray bottle will help you spray sprays with antibacterial properties quickly and leave your skin with a pleasant feeling of freshness.
  3. Conventional face sprays are widely used in cosmetology as diluents for thick creams. To do this, thermal water is sprayed onto the skin, and then a cream is applied, which in this case lies smoothly and is well distributed over the surface of the skin.

DIY moisturizing spray to refresh your face.

Good day to all!

It's hot outside again. We want to be in the shade or near the water, and when we come home, we dream of having something to refresh ourselves with. Therefore, today is a very short post on how to quickly refresh your face. To do this, we will make a moisturizing spray to refresh your facial skin with your own hands.

This is a very simple mint spray with the scent of rose and lavender. It will refresh and invigorate in the heat, you can use it as needed, as much as you want.

To prepare a moisturizing spray we will need:

  • boiled or mineral water
  • floral water or hydrosol (rose, chamomile, lavender or linden of your choice)
  • essential oils (mint, lavender)
  • spray bottle

Small bottles with sprayers can be bought in stores that sell components for making handmade soaps and cosmetics, and you can also buy your favorite hydrosol there.

Then everything is simple. Pour boiled or mineral water into a bottle with a sprayer to fill half the volume. Then add flower water. I took rose water. This water is great for all skin types, moisturizes, nourishes, smoothes the skin, and relieves irritation.

Other floral waters have similar effects, choose at your discretion. But the most versatile and popular are rose and lavender.

Add essential oils to a bottle of water - 50 ml. Add 1 drop each of mint and lavender essential oils to the solution. Shake and spray on face.

Pleasant coolness and refreshment are guaranteed!

If there is no hydrolate, you can get by with regular boiled or mineral water, just increase the amount of essential oils - instead of 1 drop of lavender, add 2 drops, or 1 drop of another oil, for example, rose or geranium. By the way, geranium perfectly moisturizes the skin, especially mature ones.

This simple spray for irrigating and refreshing your facial skin in hot weather will serve you well. They can also moisturize hair when dry, or scalp when irritated and itchy. After all, in the heat, the scalp sweats a lot and for many this causes unpleasant itching.

What is the difference between mist and thermal water?

Thermal water is water obtained from a natural source, further purified or softened. It is intended only for moisturizing, but often does not cope with its task. After spraying onto the skin, moisture particles evaporate, which causes a feeling of dryness (often even greater than before using the product).

Mists contain more than just water. They contain essential oils, may contain hyaluronic acid or glycerin, antioxidant substances and caring components, that is, a whole range of beneficial substances for the skin. The combination of active components does not allow moisture to evaporate from the surface of the skin. On the contrary, it seals it inside, thereby eliminating the feeling of dryness. And at the same time solving other care problems.

The mist moisturizes the skin well
