Although the Jasmine Garden face mist feels ultra-light on the skin, do not underestimate its incredibly strong, calming, and restorative actions. As each droplet hits the face, your skin receives a splash of fresh botanical extracts and cellular waters. The Jasmine garden is perfect for soothing the skin thanks to the colloidal silver and protecting it with potent antioxidants. As one of my favourite steps in my morning skincare routine, the botanical face mist instantly plunges you into a lush tropical garden with its fruity notes.

Why does adding the Jasmine Garden to your routine help improve your other products? 

Alongside its soothing and hydrating properties, the Jasmine face mist is a super-absorbing water layer. When applying your oils, balms, or serums before this mist, you will notice a huge improvement in the overall penetration of the product as the skin absorbs both the water and oil phases. I use it every day before the Blue Cocoon balm.

The main skincare benefits are:

• Deeply hydrating.
• Reduces the appearance of redness and inflammation.
• Limits acne flare-ups.
• Boosts the penetration of your oils, balms, & serums.

My Review

After reading about how this botanical face mist changed so many people's skin, I just had to give it a try for myself. Initially, I was questioning how much this would help my dehydrated skin. But it turns out the Jasmine Garden mist is well worth it!

I have used the mist for over two weeks, along with the Honey Mud (review here) and the Blue Cocoon balm (review here). Since then, my skin has been improving in texture and comfort. I have noticed a difference in boosting the other products and advising the face mist to anyone needing help to see results. My skin is better hydrated and looks much brighter, too!

The Ultimate Skin Protection Mist

This light and airy protective mist help boost the skin's defenses against environmental aggressors. Composed of 99% “natural origin” ingredients, the phyto-aromatic formula is the ultimate shield against pollution and UV light. Suitable for all skin types, the mist helps to soothe and moisturize the skin's layers while strengthening its natural self-defense systems. Yonka Paris Vital Defense Multi-Protection Mist also doubles up as a great makeup setting mist!

What Does Pollution Do To The Skin?

Pollution has become a daily part of our life, but this invisible aggressor can cause some severe damage to our skin. The quantity of fine particles and polluted air, combined with solar radiation, causes deep oxidative stress to the skin. Therefore, over time this causes a breakdown of our skin's protective barrier and a massive reduction in cellular oxygenation.

Benefits

Below are the key benefits of Yonka Paris Vital Defense Multi-Protection Mist:

• Immediately protects against pollution, UV radiation, and blue light
• Reduces polluting particles from attaching to the skin.
• Also, it improves skin oxygenation.
• Smooths the skin.
• Soothes and moisturizes the skin.
• Visibly enhances skin uniformity and radiance.
• Lastly, it sets makeup.

What's inside?

Yonka Paris Vital Defense Multi-Protection Mist has a vegan formula packed with skincare ingredients. The anti-pollution spray is free from alcohol, sunscreen, and GMO ingredients.

• Butterfly tree extract: Naturally neutralizes the harmful production of free radicals.
• Sophora Japonica: A powerful antioxidant that stimulates the skin's natural defense mechanism.
• Biosaccharide: Delivering an immediate anti-pollution defense, this active creates a breathable protective film on the skin's surface.
• Lastly, Sweet orange, green mandarin, and magnolia essential oils: These plant-based oils help soothe and moisturize the skin.

My Review

Yonka cosmetics is NEW to my skincare routine and makes a huge difference. It was my first time using a protective mist, and I will not go back. My skin is much more radiant and feels more comfortable all over. The mist leaves a lightweight layer on the skin which is invisible to the eye. Overall, it is non-greasy, the mist doesn't clog the pores at all!

Skincare infused, the moisturising mist

Skincare is critical in keeping your skin moisturized as the days get warmer. If you love face mists, this gem from Biologique Recherche is a must. So without further, a due let's have a look.

The L'Eauxygénante

This profoundly moisturizing spray is gold if you want a product to keep your hydration levels up during the day. Lightweight and airy, the mist sets a layer of skincare actives on the skin's surface. Inside this brume lies a potent anti-pollution complex making it ideal for those city lovers. With so many ways to use this brume, I loved to apply it before and after my makeup for a longer hold.

What's Inside?

The mist is rich in Vitamins A and C, found in the heart of orange and kiwi cells. This gives a toning action to the product.

You will also find edelweiss extract, which combats free radicals and cucumber for a refreshing sensation. Like all Biologique Recherche products, the spray contains the Oxygenating Complex.

How to use it?

Biologique Recherche L'Eauxygénante is a skincare-infused face mist that can be used in so many different ways, but here are my top three favourites:

• Before applying my skincare products, this helps the other products penetrate faster as the skin absorbs the mist.
• After my makeup, this will add hours to your makeup and refresh your look during the day.
• Mixed with my foundation. I love to spray my beauty blender with the mist while applying my foundation. It leaves a flawless finish!

My Review

I love facial mists in the summertime—easy to use and on-the-go moisture. The formula applies well over and under other products and is suitable for every skin type except sensitive ones. Its lightweight metal bottle keeps the product cool. I work in an office, so Biologique Recherche L'Eauxygénante spray helps awaken my senses and skin during my work days.

I recommend Biologique Recherche if you are looking for a hydrating face mist. My skin feels much softer and more comfortable since I use it. The formula is also based on skin care, which gives visible results.

Other staples from the French brand I enjoy in my routine are Lotion P50T (review here), Lotion P50 PIGM 400 (review here), Hair Lotion P50 Capillaire (review here).

The Phyto Corrective Essence Mist

This face mist is the best way to get a refreshed look and soothe your skin at any time during the day.

Key ingredients

• Hyaluronic acid helps in retaining the moisture in the skin for longer periods of time. It makes skin look healthier and hydrated.
• Glycerin works along with hyaluronic acid to bring out the moisture from deeper layers of the skin to the surface of the skin.
• Cucumber, Olive, Rosemary, Thyme and Boldus Leaf extracts help calm sensitive skin. It also reduces the redness of the skin.

Benefits

• Helps hydrate the skin immediately.
• Decreases the redness.
• Can be used over makeup.
• Suitable for sensitive skin.

My Experience

I work a job that requires me to be outdoors most of the day. My skin gets dull and sweaty due to constant exposure to the sun and pollutants. It is not easy to do touch-ups when I am travelling so when I have to meet someone in between the day I don't feel confident in my skin. The pollutants intricate my skin so I have redness and it feels itchy.

The Phyto Correct Essence Hydrating Mist by SkinCeuticals is an amazing face mist which helps me with all my problems. I always carry it with me, and it's so easy to get a radiant and beautiful look any time of the day. With just a few spritzes, it provides the necessary hydration to my skin. I use it over my makeup as well, and it works great. I had even used it when I had acne breakout, it did not irritate my skin at all but rather helped soothe it. It helps with the redness that tends to appear on my skin when exposed to irritants. After using it for a while, I noticed that it helped retain moisture by strengthening the skin's moisture barrier. I use it at night before sleeping to refresh and relax my skin.

Also, I recently reviewed the Vitamin C from the brand I am currently obsessed with.

Floral Spray Mist

The French skincare Sisley is well known for its brand plant-based products. Today we are focussing on their floral spray mist. Suitable for every skin type, you can apply this mist anytime or anywhere. Slip it into your handbag on those hot and sweaty days. You are sure to thank me later. More than your regular refreshing water mist. This beauty is highly concentrated in floral skincare actives. Soothing and relaxing the skin immediately, you may use it for multiple actions.

One bottle, 5 products

With a retail price of about 100$, it's only normal that this product can replace multiple products in your skincare routine. Let's take a closer look:

Refreshing water mist: All day long.

Toner: Moisturizes your skin.

Primer: Apply your mist between your base and foundation for a moisturized, easy-to-blend effect.

Make-up fixer: Spray it over your finished look to lock in your powdered pigments.

Revive your look by spraying it all over the face in the evening. Time saver!

Try using your spray to reduce cakey makeup looks. Simply apply the mist to the zone and tap your finger to blend it.

What's inside?

As usual, the formula is plant-based and smells like pure heaven. Inside you will find:

-Cornflower: Soothes

-Witch Hazel: Tones

-Rose: freshens, Soothes

-Orange blossom: Tones

My Experience

I recently discovered this most and everything about it has me hooked. It is perfect to wake you up in the morning or if you haven't slept enough the night before. It instantly revives the skin and absorbs quickly.

Ideal for people who are going on vacation or living under the sun. It is great to have in the handbag, especially when things get heated. I put it in the fridge and used it on my sunburns to soothe them, a true gem. This mist is one of my favourites thanks to its light, floral rose scent and amazing adaptable talents!

Another staple I am never without is Double Tenseur. It is a skincare and makeup hybrid to prime the skin as well as to make it look well-rested and supple. I find they work very well together as well on their own. Just want to mention that for haircare, there is the newest addition to the Hair Rituel by Sisley-Paris range that has become a new favourite of mine.
