Summer is well and truly on its way with the mercury set to rise this week, so it's time slap on the SPF and make sure that you've got one of these toning mists on hand to keep you cool and refreshed in the heat.
Summer skincare tends to fall into two main categories; for oily skinned guys and gals, you might be reaching for all the mattifying products in the world right now, and for drier skin types, the key is to stop your skin from getting parched by the sun. But toning mists are beneficial for every skin type to use and as someone whose face likes to be dehydrated and looks like an oilslick in the hotter months, they are an absolute saviour for rebalancing all that excess sebum and soothing the skin.
Here are three of my current favourite toning mists to help cool you down this Summer:-
Best for Anti-Aging & City Dwellers: Evolve Organic Beauty Daily Defence Moisture Mist* (100ml, £20, link)
For a really effective toning mist that also doubles up as a protector against pollution, this new Daily Defence Moisture Mist from Evolve Organic Beauty will appeal to city workers and skincare fans alike. The 99.4% natural (20.5% organic) formula boasts three key ingredients; Hyaluronic Acid for locking in moisture and boosting collagen, Moringa Peptides to protect against the irritating elements of pollution, and Prickly Pear which calms and hydrates. These key ingredients are housed in a base of Rose and Orange Flower Water, and this mist can be used over make-up throughout the day to protect and refresh, as well as a being a daily staple in your skincare routine after cleansing. It's quickly become one of my favourite new skincare discoveries and is definitely worth trying. Also available as a handy travel size.
Best for Balancing Oily & Sensitive Skin: IHANA Skincare Arctic Facial Toning Mist* (50ml, £25, link)
If you have a bigger budget and want a toning mist that has a much higher percentage of organic ingredients in it, look no further than IHANA's Arctic Facial Toning Mist which is ideal for all skin types, but is particularly useful for anyone who has oily, combination and easily irritated sensitive skin. The Arctic Facial Toning Mist contains an impressive 99% natural formula, 94.8% of which comes from certified organic ingredients. It features the likes of Cranberry Fruit Water and Rosewater to soothe and hydrate, natural Glycerin to keep in moisture, Arctic Meadowsweet Extract to clarify and tone, and Heather Flower and Arctic Roseroot Extracts help to further soothe and reduce any redness and skin irritation. This one feels really refreshing and cooling, and I think that sensitive skin types will certainly appreciate it.
Best for Brightening & Refreshing: Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic Spritzer* (30ml, £6.50, link)
Liz Earle's Instant Boost Skin Tonic has been a longtime favourite of mine, and it's one of those products that I've used on and off for years. Formulated with lots of soothing natural ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Calendula, Chamomile and Cucumber, it's these combined with the floral water base which gives it such a unique and uplifting fragrance that so many people love. It also has a subtle brightening effect which is great for perking up a dull complexion, and the alcohol-free formula ensures that skin is kept hydrated and happy, even in the hottest weather. I love keeping one of the travel size bottles in my handbag for a quick refresh on the go!
