Setting Mists are one of things that I often skip and when I do use one I always think why haven't I been doing this more often? You don't know how good they are until you use one .
New from one of my fav skincare brands, Algenist, is Splash Hydrating Setting Mist using sea water and fruit extracts like watermelon and apple.
The hydrating part of the name scared me a bit, I like a little extra moisture but nothing that will make me oily or overly dewy. At the same time my skin is a little drier in Winter and I want to avoid any makeup caked spots. No worries here as this is a light mist that feels fabulous on. It adds a touch of moisture with a cool , soothing feeling on skin. It sets right away , sinking into skin with a subtle watery floral scent.
It definitely helps to take away any of that cakiness that comes along with drier Winter skin and sets makeup too, for better all day wear.
It can be used on bare skin and re-applied during the day. Since it feels refreshing I'll be spraying it a couple times a day. Busy days or 50 mph winds like we're supposed to have tomorrow make this a keeper deskside.
Algenist Splash Hydrating Setting Mist is $ 35 at Ulta, Sephora and Algenist.com
