FACE MISTS THAT ARE TOTALLY WORTH YOUR MONEY

-

It took me a minute to come around to face mists, which—let's be honest—may appear to be nothing much more than atomized H20 to many of you. In short, a total waste of time and money. But hear me out: the ones you’ll see here are brimming with skin-loving ingredients, calming Rosewater, and even water from the French Alps. Just ONE spritz on my just cleansed and bare face was enough to change my life (and skin) forever. How you ask? Well...it instantly makes me feel revived, comes to my rescue at work when all I want to do is a nap after lunch and cools, soothes and hydrates my complexion when I need a midday pick-me-up. Ahead, a bunch of facial mists that you are bound to love: 1. AVENE THERMAL SPRING WATER Think of it as water, but with supernatural powers. It’s packed with skin-softening silicates and has a balanced dose of Calcium and Magnesium that work together to improve skin's texture and strengthen its barrier. Plus, its pH level of 7.5, ma...

LUXE LITE: ALL THE SOLUTIONS YOU NEED TO WELCOME SUMMER

-



Just when you think you’ve aced your beauty routine, the season changes. As easy as that, you’re back to square one. And a beauty diva like you simply can’t stick to last year’s beauty cabinet. For obvious reasons. If there’s any consolation to this ongoing conundrum, it’s the fact that transitioning from cooler to warmer seasons is way easier, than the other way around. This time around, acclimatizing means knocking off layers, opting for featherlight formulas, and gentler textures.




Warm-up to the hot-new season with an array of luxe products that have stood the test of time. Because you prep before you greet the sweltering summer and blistering heat.

Estee Lauder Daywear Anti-Oxidant 72H-Hydration Sorbet Creme SPF 15


The bare minimum thing we all do is switch moisturizers. The actual problem occurs when our seasons are still transitioning. Meaning, winter’s over and summer hasn’t really begun. That’s when you go for in-betweeners with creamy, hydra-light formulas. Estee Lauder’s Sorbet Crème is famous for its 72-hour hydration supply that powerfully protects skin with five antioxidants and broad-spectrum sunscreen. 





Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant


Sure, your skin gets dry, cracks and flakes off during winter. And sure, exfoliating then takes precedence. But as we move on to warmer temperatures, our skin gets greasy and we immediately stop exfoliating. A huge mistake. What we ought to do is work with a mild exfoliator, like Daily Microfoliant, that’s drenched in Phytic acids continues to gently dissolve excess surface cells, calm and even skin. But reduce the frequency to once in a fortnight. 




Forest Essentials Sun Fluid


At this point, we’re basking in the sunshine. Give it a few more weeks and we’ll go from basking to burning. Sadly, only then do we go looking for protection. Purely because the heaviness of sunblock can be gleefully scorned. That ends with the Sun Fluid. Coconut water, Turmeric, Basil leaves and cooling Aloe Vera work together in a ‘weightless’ serum-like texture to block out UVA/UVB rays and hydrate your skin as well.




Aveda Sun Care Protective Hair Veil


Firstly, why didn’t anybody think of this earlier? And secondly, what took Aveda so long to come up with this sun-shielding savior? Just think of the number of times UVA/UVB rays have dried, dehydrated or even burnt our hair to a crisp. Finally, you get to protect yourself with this lightweight, water-resistant UV defense mist that’s derived from Wintergreen and Cinnamon bark oils. 





Kiehl’s Olive Fruit Oil Deeply Reparative Hair Mask


Sun’s out, buns out? Well, the fun’s also out with frizziness taking charge. The season for naturally happy hair has officially ended and we need to do something about it, pronto! Step up with a hair mask instead of just a conditioner once in a week. Like this fruit mask that’s mild, hydrating and most importantly impels each strand to duly behave.






M.A.C Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation


When in doubt, go back to M.A.C. The know-it-all, the have-it-all brand has a solution to every predicament. They’ve launched a whole wide range of foundations, solely made to deliver color in an ultra-fluid, thin, elastic gel-serum texture. Try it and you’ll realize that it’s perfect for the balmy weather. With all its sheer coverage, it still doesn’t compromise on concealing your spots and scars. 





Benefit Cosmetics Love Tint in Fiery Red


Not every stain ought to be frowned upon. This water-based super-tint is proof enough. It delivers color sans the heaviness. So much so that there will be moments you’ll have to remind yourself that you’ve got a lip stain (or rouge) on. And this fiery shade of red is bright enough for spring, and not dark enough for winter.
