Welcome, Lykkers! I didn’t used to understand the hype around face mists… like why spray water on your face when you already have skincare? But after dealing with oily + sensitive moments (especially in humid weather), I slowly started appreciating them more. Now it’s one of those “small step but makes a big difference” products in my routine.

These are the two soothing mists I’ve been using lately, and both feel calming in their own way.

LABORÉ Thermal Soothing Mist — $18

This one feels like an instant skin reset. Whenever my face feels a bit hot, tight, or slightly irritated, I just spray this and it immediately feels calmer. The mist is super fine (not those aggressive spray types that ruin your makeup), so it feels really soft on the skin. I like using it during the day, especially when I’ve been out in the heat for too long. It gives that quick cooling effect that just makes everything feel more balanced again. Low effort, but surprisingly comforting.

Tavi Urban Shield 3-in-1 Super Fine Mist — $22

This one is more of my “daily carry-around” mist. It feels lightweight and refreshing, and I like using it when my skin feels a bit dull or dehydrated but not necessarily irritated. It doesn’t leave any sticky feeling, which is really important for me because I already deal with oily skin. I also like spraying this before going out just to give my skin that extra fresh layer without overthinking my routine. It’s simple, but in a really good way.

I didn’t expect to be someone who uses two mists at the same time, but here we are. LABORÉ is what I reach for when my skin feels “not okay,” while Tavi is more like my everyday refresh spray when I just want my skin to feel awake and hydrated. Not a must-have step, but definitely one of those little skincare habits that makes my routine feel more complete lately.
