OuR Guide to the Best face masks and mists in the summer
Face masks are a great way to add a concentrated burst of nourishing and therapeutic ingredients directly on to your skin. They come in a huge amount of different formulations with different benefits. Use a face mask that’s right for your skin type and your skin condition rather than going for the latest ingredients – you want effective results that will work with your skin.
For clean, glowing and hydrated skin this summer, we recommend:
Nuhanciam Purifying Radiance Mask
This rich, creamy mask will leave your skin feeling soft, plump and hydrated. It’s ideal for skin that feels dry or rough due to UV exposure. It uses a combination of white and yellow clay, Keratoline and hazelnut oil to eliminate dead cells and pore-clogging impurities to enhance natural radiance. It can even help with pigmentation.
The Afro Hair & Skin Company Rebirth – Glow Recovery Clay Mask
This mask rebalances your skin, gently cleansing and exfoliating without drying your skin out. Containing a unique blend of ionically charged clays along with organic turmeric, it extracts impurities from the skin whilst restoring vitality, hydration and glow.
Face mists are the perfect pick me up to help cool, refresh and hydrate your skin. Toners, cleansers and moisturisers can all be facial mists too, delivering powerful skincare ingredients directly to your skin as a refreshing spray. Setting sprays are a little different too, these are used after applying makeup to blend your products together so that they look better for longer.
Here are our facial mist top picks for summer:
This light, refreshing mist hydrates and helps to restore your skin’s natural barrier, leaving it softer and smoother. Restoring your barrier also helps to combat dryness, hyperpigmentation and other skin imperfects. Use as part of your current routine and as needed throughout the day.
