My latest spritz hits

For on-the-go hydration

Spritzable serums (think of them as skincare in mist form) are suddenly everywhere – according to beauty trend forecaster Pretty Analytics, searches for ‘hydrating face mist’ are up 50 per cent in the UK. I like to use mine just after cleansing for an extra layer of light moisture, before layering on another serum.

Anna-Marie Solowij, co-founder of cult online store Beautymart, thinks practicality is the key reason for their popularity. ‘I think it’s the ease of pressing a button and adding an extra layer of care for your skin,’ she says. ‘Life saps skin of moisture – air-conditioning, heating, alcohol, sugary drinks, coffee, salty foods, stress and anxiety can all lead to dehydration – so, along with sipping water during the day, the idea of hydrating from the outside, too, really appeals.’

Plus, these spritzes can be used throughout the day – because of their micro-fine delivery, it’s easier and quicker for skin to absorb, so there’s no need to pat it in and disturb your make-up. FOUR FAST FIXES

1 Révive Vitalité Energizing Hydration Mist (£45, spacenk.com) contains vitamins C and E (an antioxidant and hydrator), aloe leaf juice to soothe and calm, along with a whole host of active ingredients to help the skin’s water levels.

2 It’s Skin Power 10 Formula VB Sebum Mist (£18.95, beautybay.com) is a new offering from this Korean brand – from a range of formulas covering everything from brightening and sebum control to moisture boosting.

3 La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra 8 Daily Soothing Hydrating Concentrate (£19.50, boots.com) – an ultra-lightweight, glycerin-rich serum – not only hydrates but also helps to protect allergy-prone skin.

4 Bybi Mega Mist (£26, boots.com) is a bit of a buzz product from the natural skincare brand. A quick mist of this super hyaluronic acid hydrator helps to keep skin looking plump and feeling good.
