Summer can be just as drying to your skin as cold winter months -- especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors. And, the heat can make skin sweaty and oily -- resulting in some seriously unbalanced skin. IS Clinical Copper Firming Mist, $38, uses copper and botanical extracts to help balance, firm and hydrate skin -- all without making it oily or greasy. Bonus: Copper also helps with collagen synthesis, so each spritz also boasts an anti-aging boost.
If only it were socially acceptable to walk around in public with a moisturizing mud mask on. Instead, lock in every ounce of moisture the sun is trying to steal by keeping Sulwhasoo Hydro-Aid Moisturizing Lifting Mist, $45, in your purse. This superfine mist is infused with Korean herbal seaweed, a skincare superfood that's full of vitamins A, C, E, all the B's, plus moisturizing polysaccharides. Each spritz packs a punch of anti-aging properties and moisture sans any stickiness.
Help nurse an inflamed face back to health with La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, $12.99. Whether your skin is aggravated by city pollution, too much sun, an overzealous exfoliating session or the plain old stress of life, this natural spray straight from France will soothe stressed skin immediately. The mineral-rich water is packed with selenium, a powerful antioxidant that protects skin from damaging free radicals and works as an anti-inflammatory.
Summer comes with its fair share of itchiness -- bug bites, mild sunburns.
Avène Thermal Spring Water Spray, $13, will keep your hands off your face. This soothing spray instantly gets rid of discomfort -- itching sensations, that tight feeling after washing your face with a stripping cleanser or after sweat dries post-workout. The perfectly balanced pH and low salt mineral content makes this hydrating pick great for skin that's a little sensitive after a wax appointment or thanks to those harsh acne products keeping your pimples in check.
Summer isn't just free movies in the park season. It's also the official makeup meltdown season. Put an end to sticky foundation and runny mascara with Skindinavia The Makeup Primer Spray, $35. This lightweight, silicone-free mist creates a breathable barrier between your skin and your makeup to prevent slippery products from running down your face. Close your eyes and spray over your entire face or spritz the formula on your eye shadows, mascaras, brows and brushes to make sure sweat and oil don't cause your hard work to slip.
