We test three face mists at all price points to cool your skin in summer

FACE mists refresh skin without feeling heavy and can be applied as often as you like, even over make-up.

In summer, their cooling effect really comes into its own.

Here are three of my favourites.

Budget

e.l.f. hydrating coconut mist, £8, elfcosmetics.co.uk: With budget face mists, the application is often more like a splutter.

But this is spot on, and the mist is easily distributed no matter how many pumps you do in quick succession.

It’s lightweight and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth thanks to glycerin, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and panthenol.

The packaging is also super streamlined, so I’ve taken it on a few long-haul flights.

The only downside is the rather strong coconut scent.

It dissipates quite quickly, but if the smell doesn’t appeal to you, give this one a miss.

Mid-range

Charlotte Tilbury magic hydrator mist, £35, charlottetilbury.co.uk: I’ve been using this non-stop over the last few weeks, and I can finally talk about it as it launched on Friday.

It’s full of moisturising ingredients so I prefer to use it straight after cleansing, before any other skincare.

I don’t tend to apply it over make-up as I have oily skin so don’t need the extra shine, but if your skin is dry or you love a dewy finish, you could use it on top of make-up, too.

The best part is that it also contains niacinamide, which is one of my favourite skincare ingredients.

It helps calm inflammation and sensitivity and prevent breakouts.

I am obsessed.

Luxury

SkinCeuticals Phyto corrective essence mist, £60, skinceuticals.co.uk:

This is the mist that first convinced me they could do more than feel good on the skin.

It’s virtually weightless, so you can’t over-apply it.

It’s great for oily skin and doesn’t make you feel greasy.

The botanical formula is ideal for redness and takes the heat out of sore skin.

As it’s so lightweight, I had to use quite a few spritzes, which meant I got through the bottle very quickly.

That being said, it’s so good I will definitely repurchase, but save as an SOS for when my skin is at its worst

Pick of the week

AS the make-up artist of choice to Kim Kardashian, J-Lo and Priyanka Chopra, Mario Dedivanovic knows a thing or two about making skin look great.

And he’s poured that knowledge into creating the Makeup by Mario SurrealSkin foundation, £46.

It sold out instantly when it launched in the US last year.
