(SPOT.ph) The weather’s getting hotter by the day and we know the shift in temperature might have you paying extra attention to your skin—whether that means protecting it from the sun, keeping it hydrated in the heat, or making sure it looks fresh even when you’re all sweaty. Face mists are a great skincare option for summer as their lightweight formulas can easily sink into your skin and boost hydration and luminosity. Plus, a light spritz of cooling mist will feel especially refreshing in this weather—you’ll be reapplying all day.
