What are the best SPF face mists?

SPF mists are great to use on the face if you don't like the feeling of a traditional sun lotion. Lightweight in texture and feel, they melt into the skin to create an invisible barrier against damaging UV rays.

In addition, they are great to keep in your bag while you're out and about as it means you can top up your sun protection without reaching for sticky lotions and creams. To be used both under and over makeup, they are without a doubt our number one sun essential for summer.

As someone with an affinity for all things beauty, discovering fantastic new products is my not-so-secret obsession. Over the years I've tried and tested a mountains worth of creams, serums and cleansers, finding some of my favourite 'holy-grail' products along the way. However, I'm always on the lookout for more ways to nourish my hair, perfect my dewy base, or enhance my skincare routine. Working as a beauty blogger for over 3 years, I've been lucky enough to collaborate personally with lots of amazing beauty brands including Christian Dior, The Body Shop and Dermalogica. I've used the Dermalogica special cleansing gel religiously since I first got it and their products are some of my ultimate skincare faves. When it comes to cosmetics, NARS Sheer Glow foundation is definitely my go-to - I live for a light, glowy base!
