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

THE BIG SWITCHEROO: SKINCARE SWAPS FROM WINTER TO SUMMER

-



The temperatures have started rising, there’s no longer that chill in the air, and the sun is out for a little bit longer every day. Winter is passing and summer is almost here. While that means you’re going to be swapping out your wardrobe, it’s also a good idea to change up your beauty routine. Your skin may experience extra dryness during the winter, but summer brings warmer temperatures, higher humidity, and UV levels so it’s time to update your skincare.



Here’s how to transition your skincare routine from winter to summer:


1. Change Your Cleanser


Cold weather calls for cleansers that are creamier and can boost dry skin with an instant hit of moisture. But your skin doesn’t need as much help in this department when it’s getting hotter. So, swap out your moisturizing cleanser with a clay cleanser like The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Clay wash which helps clean out the build-up of impurities, pollution, and oil from your pores without drying it out, leaving your skin feeling clean and super fresh.




2. Switch To Serums


Face oils can be your winter heroes at times when moisture is a hot commodity. But as the humidity increases with the onset of summer, those same products can make your skin suffocate. Enter the antioxidant-rich MCaffeine Naked & Raw Sun Protection Coffee Face Serum, the perfect swap for your face oils. Infused with coffee and the perfect solution for all skin types, it hydrates your skin and protects it from harmful UV rays. It’ll keep you feeling revived all day long.




3. Modify Your Moisturizer


During the warmer months, your skin retains moisture and produces more oil than during the winter, so your skin doesn’t need as much hydration. But that doesn’t mean you should skip this skincare step altogether. Instead, swap your heavy-duty moisturizer with a lightweight, water-based formula like the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel. It has Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerine and Olive extract that lock in moisture while still being oil-free, so it doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy. A true win-win.



4. Soak Up The Sunscreen


Everyone knows that if there’s one thing that’s important, it’s sunscreen. In the winter, you can get away with using even a moisturizer that has light SPF, but as soon as the sunny days approach, you’ve got to up your sunscreen game. Use a lightweight sunscreen with at least SPF 50 like the Lakme Sun Expert SPF 50 PA+++ Ultra Matte Gel Sunscreen which protects you from harmful UV rays and feels non-sticky as it soaks into your skin.




5. Exercise That Exfoliation


After spending a couple of months in the cold, it’s normal for your skin to look a little duller than usual. It doesn’t mean you can’t do something about it. Add exfoliation to your skincare routine and watch how it changes the game. Use a gentle exfoliator like the Himalaya Herbals Gentle Exfoliating Apricot Scrub twice a week to get rid of the dead skin cells and unclog your pores. It’s the easiest way to get your glow on.




6. Make The Most Of Mist


Summer equals sweating and that can leave your skin feeling greasy. To stay cool through the sweltering heat of the season, keep a refreshing facial mist like the Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water handy. Just spritz some on when you feel the temperatures rising and your skin will instantly feel completely rejuvenated. Trust us when we say it’s magic in a bottle.





7. Pro Tip: Masking


If you want to take your summer skincare routine one step further, reach for a mask like the Nykaa Skin Secrets Charcoal + Bamboo Sheet Mask a couple of times a week. While the Charcoal detoxes your skin by pulling out all the impurities, the Bamboo deeply nourishes and rejuvenates. Once summer rolls around, this step will add that something extra to your skin and you’ll be wondering why you’ve not been doing it all your life.
