But stop the panic applying – this can actually be making things worse! When your skin is feeling stressed out, it’s best to take it back to basics. Get the essentials nailed and keep it consistent – wait for the results and then thank us.

Face mists are one of the best ways to soothe and calm your skin, adding that extra layer of goodness in between your cleansers, serums, and moisturisers. So, if you’re reaching a full-blown skin SOS, fear not and reach for some of our faves from the list below.

We couldn’t get a list of face mists together without mentioning our hero… The Skincare By BEAUTY BAY Make It Rain Face Mist is the ideal does-it-all product that can soothe, calm, hydrate, and restore your skin. Formulated with a mineral and super berry blend, this refreshing facial mist helps to hydrate, energise, and refresh your complexion.

When talking about stressed out skin, CBD is naturally going to come up in conversation. Known for helping to calm, de-stress, and soothe the skin, cannabis sativa seed oil is the hero ingredient in the Milani Green Goddess Hydrating Mist.

Like CBD, cica is another key ingredient when it comes to de-stressing the skin. Found inside the Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Calming Mist, this not-so-secret ingredient makes this mist top of our list when our skin is not quite feeling its best. Delivering lasting relief against irritation, flare ups, and sensitivity, the hard-working herbs, minerals, hydrating humectants, and probiotic ferment in this mist make it a must-have for your haul.

Make sure you have all the chill with the florence by mills Zero Chill Face Mist.
