Since the launch of our latest Orange Blossom-infused facial spray, our most frequently asked question has been “What’s the difference between the four Mario Badescu Facial Sprays?” Here’s a breakdown of each facial mist: what a facial spray is, what it does, and key ingredients.

FACIAL SPRAY WITH ALOE, HERBS AND ROSEWATER

What it is: The OG cult-favorite. A floral infusion of Rose and Gardenia Extracts hydrates and boosts your complexion to reveal radiant, re-energized skin.

“How do I use a facial spray?”

Each of these mists were made to multi-task. Spritz on clean skin for added hydration before you apply moisturizer, throughout the day to revive and refresh skin, or after makeup application for a dewy finish.

“How do I use all four Mario Badescu facial sprays?”

Each of our mists can be used whenever, wherever—but it’s easy to incorporate all four into your day-to-night regimen. Here’s one (of many!) ways to use your mists:

MORNING

Start your day with Facial Spray with Aloe, Cucumber and Green Tea. Mist on clean skin before moisturizer to boost hydration and tone your complexion.

DURING MAKEUP APPLICATION

Dampen your favorite makeup brushes or sponge using our rose face mist. Once you’re done, mist your complexion to give your final look a dewy finish.

AFTERNOON

Liberally mist Facial Spray with Aloe, Sage and Orange Blossom throughout the day whenever you need an instant pick-me-up.

EVENING

Set the tone before bed. Use our Lavender facial spray before you apply your nightly serum and night cream for a calming botanical boost.

New season, different line-up.

A shift in weather come fall means most skin types will be craving balance and a touch more hydration. It’s still hot—summer weather is going strong—but the unpredictable ups and downs in temperature makes maintaining the integrity of skin’s outermost barrier our number one priority.

Here’s our skin care routine for the month of September:

ENZYME CLEANSING GEL

It’s light, oil-free, and leaves skin feeling super clean (never stripped!). This face wash has an uplifting, spa-like scent, which is exactly the mood-booster we need as we get back into the swing of things.

WITCH HAZEL & LAVENDER TONER

The soothing benefits of this Witch Hazel toner make it perfect for all skin types—and what we love most about it is its aromatherapeutic Lavender infusion. Stress, who? Certainly not with this bottle around. Only balanced, happy skin here.

FACIAL SPRAY WITH ALOE, HERBS AND ROSEWATER

Another skin care staple and must-have classic. We mist throughout the day (at least three times: morning, midday, and before bed), but the trick is to spritz right after toner and before you moisturize. Applying your serum or face cream onto freshly misted skin helps lock in all those skin-loving benefits and gives an added boost of hydration.

HYALURONIC EYE CREAM

Are you noticing a theme with our September skin care routine? The goal is to keep things easy, breezy, and classic, which is why we’re reaching for our most beloved eye cream. It’s a midweight formula that sinks in beautifully to give under-eyes an ultra-hydrated, smooth look.

Another plus? Hyaluronic Eye Cream layers well under makeup. Just tap, let it sink in, and you’ll find that concealer practically glides across skin.

HYALURONIC DEW CREAM

The name says it all. For thirsty skin (and yes, all skin types—including oily!—can experience dehydration), this is a dream cream. It’s silky, light, and absorbs seamlessly to give your complexion a dewy sheen. No tack, no stickiness, and definitely no feeling of heaviness is left behind.

Also good to know: Hyaluronic Dew Cream is oil-free, fragrance-free, vegan, and like everything else in the Mario Badescu line, cruelty-free.

SEAWEED NIGHT CREAM

If you want to wake with skin that appears radiant and plump with hydration, this is the cream for you. It has a luxe, dense texture, but it’s oil-free—and the cream melts into skin to deliver nourishing moisture and protein-enriched benefits.

#MBSkinTip: Seaweed Night Cream is formulated for combination to oily skin types, but if you’re on the dry side, you can use it, too. Simply pair it with your favorite serum (like Super Peptide Serum or Cellufirm Drops) for another layer of moisture.

If all your life you’ve been hand cream-adverse because of the added effort (and trail of fingerprints left behind on everything in your wake—especially keyboards), I feel you. There was a time I didn’t think I needed moisturizer until using one changed the look and feel of my skin. There was also a time I found hand creams nice, but not necessary until (spoiler alert!) using one regularly changed the look and feel of my hands.

Moral of the story? Moisturization matters. Head to toe hydration—with hand care in between—will change you, guaranteed. And when choosing that perfect hand cream, do it with same amount of consideration you would when selecting your face cream: Take into account your skin type, your lifestyle, and any concerns you have.

HYDRATING HAND CREAM

Your new, desk-side or summer favorite.

Who’s it for? Hands that need light moisture and no fuss.

Texture: Ultra-lightweight and fast-absorbing.

Keyboard safe? Yes. Massage it in and type away sans greasy fingertips.

Why you’ll love it: It’s formulated with Hyaluronic Acid to ensure hydration without the heaviness. Plus, it’s infused with Peppermint Extract for a light, cooling effect. Who knew hand creams could be refreshing?

SPECIAL HAND CREAM WITH VITAMIN E

Your classic go-to.

Who’s it for? Anyone and everyone—but in particular, someone who wants a reliable hand cream that feels decadent without the post-application slip.

Texture: Light and creamy. Rich, but sinks into skin once you start massaging it in.

Keyboard safe? Give it a few moments to sink in before you’re in the clear.

Why you’ll love it: It’s moisture-intensive without feeling greasy, ever. Plus, this one is packed with nourishing oils and antioxidant Vitamin E for silky-smooth, super soft hands.

ROSE HAND CREAM WITH VITAMIN E

A rejuvenating, Rose-infused treat.

Who’s it for? Floral fanatics who love the feel of our signature Special Hand Cream with Vitamin E and want a hint of something special.

Texture: Just like the original, but with an infusion of rejuvenating Rose.

Keyboard safe? Let it sink in for a few minutes, then type away!

Why you’ll love it: It’s luxe, comforting, and envelops skin in a veil of skin-smoothing moisture. Rose lovers rejoice: this one is just for you.

 LAVENDER HAND CREAM WITH VITAMIN E

For a touch of calm.

Who’s it for? Lavender lovers or anyone in pursuit of calm and comfort.

Texture: Just like the original, plus an infusion of calming Lavender Oil that helps soothe skin and the senses.

Keyboard safe? Let it sink in for a few minutes, then type away!

Why you’ll love it: It’s moisture-intensive but melts into skin beautifully for silky-soft hands.

FRUIT AND VITAMIN A HAND CREAM

A citrus-infused favorite.

Who’s it for? Dry hands that need a pick-me-up. If you have lines, a little bit discoloration, or hands that look a bit dull—this is for you.

Texture: Creamy with a bit of slip. It’s thick enough that if you play with it you’ll get stiff peaks, but it melts seamlessly into skin.

Keyboard safe? Give it a minute. You may see a bit of sheen on your space bar, but if your hands are dry, you likely won’t.

Why you’ll love it: It’s formulated with Squalane and nourishing oils to deeply moisturize and soften the look of dry lines. A rejuvenating blend of Orange Peel, Lemon Extract, and Salicylic Acid help brighten up and smooth uneven skin tone and texture, too.

ELASTO-SEAMOLLIENT HAND CREAM

A savior for parched or rough, dry hands.

Who’s it for? Super dry or winter-worn skin. Or anyone who wants to treat their hands to an overnight, moisturizing hand “mask.”

Texture: Undoubtedly decadent. Super rich. Indulgent.

Keyboard safe? Nope. But for ultra-dry skin or for the bold, this is a good thing.

Why you’ll love it: It delivers intense moisture—but also helps prevent moisture loss. It’s packed with emollient oils and Squalane, enriched with Vitamin B, and formulated with Elastin to nourish, smooth, and soften all-in-one. Unless your skin is extremely dry, you’ll definitely feel as though your hands are enveloped in a layer of hydration and care. (Your hands will also look better than they ever have, too).

Both are oil-free, dewy-skin hydrators in a gel-serum formulation—but what are the differences between Herbal Hydrating Serum and Hyaluronic Dew Drops? Here’s the breakdown:

WHO THEY’RE FOR

Both are formulated for all skin types. Normal to oily skin types will appreciate their weightless finishes, and combo to dry skin types will adore the ease of layer-bility with other serums or richer face creams.

TEXTURE AND FINISH

Herbal Hydrating Serum is a lightweight gel that absorbs beautifully into skin. It adds—and leaves behind—a hint of skin-smoothing slip.

Hyaluronic Dew Drops is even lighter in texture—we’d describe it as water-light and cool to the touch. It sinks in seamlessly for an invisible finish that leaves skin soft and radiant with hydration.

Both are oil-free gel serums.

BENEFITS

Herbal Hydrating Serum delivers a boost of light hydration that revives, softens, and smooths skin. It gives skin a healthy, hydrated glow and should be used alone or over moisturizer.

Hyaluronic Dew Drops not only delivers multilevel hydration, but also provides clarifying and resurfacing benefits, too. Because it has an ultra-light texture and is packed with actives, Hyaluronic Dew Drops should be applied directly to clean skin first, then followed with moisturizer or night cream.

Meet Hyaluronic Dew Drops, the ultimate glass-skin serum that pairs perfectly with Hyaluronic Dew Cream.

WHAT IS HYALURONIC DEW DROPS?

Hyaluronic Dew Drops is a hydrating serum that replenishes and refines to help you achieve dewy, petal-soft skin. Water-light to the touch and traceless in finish, this gel formula features two molecular weights of Sodium Hyaluronate (a humectant similar to Hyaluronic Acid) for multilevel hydration. Thirsty skin gets a cooling boost of hydration that sinks into skin while complexion-boosting ingredients are hard at work. Niacinamide helps re-balance, Lactic Acid resurfaces, and Thyme Extract helps boosts clarity—all in the name of giving skin a glass-like glow.

WHAT’S INSIDE?

The inspiration behind this product was morning dew; here’s how we bottled up that glistening, first-thing-in-the-morning effect:

• Supremely hydrating Sodium Hyaluronate complex
• Restorative Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
• Resurfacing Lactic Acid
• Clarifying Thyme Extract
• Conditioning, antioxidant-rich Chlorella (Algae) Extract                 
• Antioxidant-rich Green Tea Extract
• Soothing and hydrating Aloe Vera

WHAT MAKES HYALURONIC DEW DROPS SO SPECIAL?

• THE ULTRA-LIGHT GEL TEXTURE, water-light on application and weightless in finish
• ITS FAST-ABSORBING FORMULA that sinks in beautifully for complexion-boosting hydration and glow
• A HOST OF MULTI-FUNCTIONAL BENEFITS that deliver hydrating, clarifying, and resurfacing, benefits to help balance and improve the look of skin
• THE FINISH leaves skin deliciously dewy and ultra-hydrated without the heaviness

Also good to know: Hyaluronic Dew Drops is…

• Oil-free
• Paraben-free
• Dye-free
• Fragrance-free
• Vegan
• Cruelty-free

WHO IS IT FOR?

All skin types can use Hyaluronic Dew Drops! Combo-dry to dry skin types will want to layer it with a richer moisturizer (like The Moisture Magnet SPF 15 or Protein Night Cream). Normal to oily skin types will love using this with Aloe Moisturizer SPF 15 or its companion, Hyaluronic Dew Cream.

HOW DO YOU USE HYALURONIC DEW DROPS?

Here’s how to get the most out of your serum:

1. Start with freshly cleansed, toned skin.
2. Liberally mist any Mario Badescu Facial Spray of your choice. (This step is optional, but highly recommended for maximum hydration and dewiness!) Not sure which mist you should reach for? Choose one based on your skin’s mood:
   1. If your skin is dull, dehydrated, and in need of clarity, reach for our Rose-infused Facial Spray.
   1. If your complexion needs a invigorating refresh, hit reset with a cooling mist of Cucumber and Green Tea.
   1. If you’re feeling stressed, re-balance and soothe your skin and senses with our Chamomile and Lavender-infused face mist.
   1. If you’re in search of an energizing, citrus-y pick-me-up, we know you’ll love this Orange Blossom Facial Spray.
3. Then, while your skin is still dewy, apply 1-2 drops of the serum all over your face (avoiding the eye area).
4. Follow with a moisturizer or night cream that best suits your skin.

For glowy, dewy, and bright skin all summer long, try this.

1. USE A GEL CLEANSER.

Enzyme Cleansing Gel is our most universal (and beloved!) face wash to date: it’s a light, oil-free gel base infused with Papaya and Grapefruit Extracts to help rejuvenate skin. A dime-sized squeeze of this will do the trick: it’s the perfect morning pick-me-up and end-of-day deep clean that leaves skin feeling fresh-faced and clean.

If you have very oily skin, try Botanical Facial Gel for a deeper clean.

2. ALWAYS FOLLOW WITH A TONER.

Toning post-cleanse helps ensure every speck of makeup, oil, sweat, and grime is removed from your face. You get a thorough clean (which is crucial), but even more importantly, Mario Badescu toners are formulated to re-balance your skin and deliver complexion-boosting benefits weightlessly.

Glycolic Acid Toner is a staple for soothing, resurfacing benefits. Formulated with Glycolic Acid to help even out skin tone, Grapefruit Extract to rejuvenate, and Aloe Vera for a soothing hydration, this is a must for a touch of daily exfoliation. Brighter skin (and days) lie ahead with this in your routine.

If you have sensitive skin and want a brightening boost, try Alpha Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion. This is mild formulation infused with Grapefruit and Lemon Extracts to give skin that rejuvenating boost—plus a host of replenishing ingredients like Bladderwrack (Seaweed) Extract, Aloe Vera, and Glycerin.

3. KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE.

Ceramide Herbal Eye Cream is the perfect warm-weather eye cream. It’s a silky balm that glides beautifully under and around the eye area, packed with skin-loving ingredients (like Hyaluronic Acid, Safflower Seed Oil, Rosehip Oil, Vitamin E, Ceramide Glycolipids, Eyebright Extract).

If your skin is on the oily side, try Ceramide Eye Gel instead. It’s an ultra-light, oil-free eye gel that applies with bounce and seamlessness. Store it in the fridge and make it an extra-cooling treat that helps de-puff tired eyes.

4. STAY HYDRATED.

Hyaluronic Dew Cream is just what summer skin—no matter your skin type—craves. This is a light gel-cream hybrid that delivers all the dewiness with none of the heaviness. Layer as much as you need (and over a serum if you desire).

If you’re out and about, do layer this with your favorite sunscreen or opt for a face moisturizer with SPF.

#MBSkinTip: Get a glow-up just by misting with any Mario Badescu Facial Spray before you apply Hyaluronic Dew Cream. Doing so enables the Sodium Hyaluronate complex (in the moisturizer) to draw even more moisture into the skin for an added boost of hydration.

5. TREAT YOURSELF.

Every other night, apply a few drops of Vitamin C Serum before you reach for Hyaluronic Dew Cream. Glowy is the goal, of course, but you also want to care for your skin, too—which means using this antioxidant-enriched serum to help fight against skin-aging free radicals from sun damage.

Here are 10 more tips on how to achieve radiant, summer skin.

Originally published as Mario Monthly Edit: July Skin Care from the Mario Badescu Skin Care Blog.

The limit may not exist—but the perfect summer body lotion does.

What it is:

Summer Shine Body Lotion, a.k.a. Summer bottled up. This seemingly improbable feat was somehow achieved by one such Mario Badescu… which means you have complete access to warm weather vibes and sun-kissed glow no matter where you are or the time of year.

What it does:

Imparts a luminous highlight wherever it’s applied, and lightly moisturizes skin too. Formulated with nourishing oils and antioxidant Vitamin A to nourish skin, this lightweight body cream is just the product you want when you want your limbs out and on display. Subtle shimmer is infused to add a beautiful gleam, leaving skin soft, smooth, and glowing.

What we love about it:

It’s the perfect pick-me-up on the gloomiest of days or in the dead of winter—but it’s also the quintessential summer must-have that heightens every beachside moment or tropical vacation by setting the mood and the glow. It smells like summer in the best possible way. Light, fresh, sweet, luminous, and coconutty, Summer Shine Body Lotion is both delectable and delightful—adding a hint of addictively sweet (but never unbearingly saccharine) fragrance.

But scent aside, it’s beautiful. Subtle shimmer gives the skin a sophisticated, like the sun or candlelight found you.

How to use it:

Apply Summer Shine Body Lotion wherever your heart desires. Do as the makeup artists do backstage before sending models down the runway: apply it wherever skin is exposed for a beautiful gleam. Or for a more subtle approach, apply it only where the light would naturally hit your skin: the collarbones, tops of your shoulders, and down the front of your legs.

How does summer affect your skin?

Summer often means enjoying the rays of sunshine outdoors, taking exciting trips, having fun with friends and family and indulging in tasty food and drinks. But how does it impact your skin and your summer skincare routine? Heat, humidity, air conditioning and sun exposure present a serious challenge to the skin. Protecting it from possible damage is the key factor to ensure a healthy complexion and great summer days. By following our simple tips for glowing skin and tweaking your skincare for the summer season, you can easily protect your skin and enjoy the sunny days.

10 Skincare Tips for Summer:

1. Always apply sunscreen. Sun protection is crucial to skin health—in fact, it’s one of the most surefire ways to prevent premature signs of aging (like fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging) and discoloration (like age spots and darkening of post-acne marks). Be sure to apply sunscreen first thing every morning or 20 minutes prior to any outdoor activities; re-apply every hour to ensure your skin stays protected throughout the day, especially if you’re going to be spending time during the sun’s peak hours (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.). Sunscreen is the most essential part of your summer skincare routine.

We recommend trying:
Mario Badescu Oil Free Moisturizer SPF 30 for combination, oily and acne-prone skin
Mario Badescu Collagen Moisturizer SPF 15 for combination to dry skin
Mario Badescu The Moisture Magnet SPF 15 for dry and mature skin

2. Remember to protect your hands and feet.  Driving and walking around in open-toed shoes makes you susceptible to sun damage and premature signs of aging. Be sure to exfoliate, moisturize, and protect exposed hands and feet. Our tip? Keep a bottle of Mario Badescu Oil Free Moisturizer SPF 30 on hand when you’re out and about. It’ll not only keep your hands and feet hydrated, but will also sink in quickly without feeling greasy—all while protecting your skin. 

3. Exfoliate regularly. Bacteria, impurities and dead skin cells may clog the pores and make your skin look dull and lifeless. By removing pore-clogging surface impurities and dulling dead skin cells from the skin, exfoliation helps diminish discoloration and prevent future breakouts. Reveal a healthy and glowing complexion with the gentle yet effective Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser. Make sure to leave it on for a couple of minutes before washing it off to help the ingredients do their magic. If you prefer a granular exfoliant, give our invigorating Botanical Exfoliating Scrub a try instead. Exfoliate once or twice a week as part of your summer skincare routine and enjoy glowing skin. 

4. Moisturize Daily.  Summer sun, heat, salt water, chlorine, and air conditioning can wreak havoc on skin. You can put aside the rich moisturizers in the summer but don’t deprive your skin of hydration completely. To help keep skin hydrated and healthy-looking, moisturize skin in the summer with SPF before sun, and use a night cream before bed. And for glowing, silky-smooth skin from head to toe, be sure to moisturize your hands and body too.

5. Don’t Skimp on Eye Cream. Sun exposure will gradually thin skin and cause wrinkles, so it’s essential to make eye care a priority. Try using a lightweight formula for day like our Ceramide Herbal Eye Cream and a creamy renewing eye cream like Glycolic Eye Cream overnight for the perfect summer skincare routine. Throw on a baseball cap or large, floppy beach hat to help further shield your face, neck, and chest from dangerous UVA/UVB rays.

6.Look for alpha/beta hydroxy acids in your skincare. We already mentioned the importance of regular exfoliation and by combining the right acids you can restore and replenish for glowing skin. It is essential to address your skin type and skin concerns before choosing the best acids and acid combination among products with Grapefruit Extract, Papaya Extract, Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid. Use a product once or twice a week as part of your summer skincare routine for glowing skin.

7.Add Vitamin C to the mix. Vitamin C is the best possible teammate to your sunscreen. Together they help to visibly brighten the skin and keep the complexion healthy and youthful-looking for a healthy looking glowing skin. Use our Vitamin C Serum at night to replenish your skin. Use alone or add a moisturizer if you need added hydration.  We can suggest Hyaluronic Dew Cream

8. Purify the skin. To absorb excess oil and deep clean the skin, you can use a gentle purifying mask a couple of times a week as part of your summer skincare routine. Mario Badescu Flower & Tonic Mask is gentle on the skin and balances the oil production without feeling stripping and drying.

9. Stay hydrated. Healthy skin comes from within. Drink plenty of water during the summer days, as dehydration can show on your skin, too.

10. Choose the healthier option. As tempting as it is to lie in a tanning bed or sunbathe, make the switch to self-tanners to achieve that ever-covetable summer skin without yielding yourself to the dangers of overexposure. Beauty Tip: Our faces will always be a shade or two lighter than our body; to build color on your face as well, alternate between a tinted moisturizer and facial self-tanner to achieve an even wash of sun-kissed color.

…or with any face moisturizer, for that matter.

1. Start with cleansed, toned skin.

2. Choose any Mario Badescu Facial Spray and mist, liberally. All of our Facial Sprays are formulated to, first and foremost, replenish skin with soothing, Aloe-infused hydration. What differentiates them is their unique botanical profile: each mist is infused with a different set of plant extracts and essential waters to boost your skin with additional benefits. This allows you to mix and match your mists depending on what you and your skin need at any given moment.

• FACIAL SPRAY WITH ALOE, HERBS AND ROSEWATER adds a rejuvenating, clarifying boost with a blend of rejuvenating Rose and clarifying Thyme
• FACIAL SPRAY WITH ALOE, CUCUMBER AND GREEN TEA adds an ultra-refreshing, cooling boost with restorative Green Tea and invigorating Peppermint Essential Water
• FACIAL SPRAY WITH ALOE, CHAMOMILE AND LAVENDER adds a soothing, antioxidant-enriched boost with an infusion of calming Lavender Oil and Vitamin C
• FACIAL SPRAY WITH ALOE, SAGE AND ORANGE BLOSSOM adds an uplifting boost with a citrus-y spritz of skin-loving botanicals

3. Apply a light, even layer of Hyaluronic Dew Cream (or your favorite moisturizer). The trick to maximizing your hydration and glow is to apply Hyaluronic Dew Cream immediately after you’ve misted, while your skin is still dewy. Because this formula features a Sodium Hyaluronate complex, this technique will help further boost hydration while adding additional botanical benefits into your skin care routine.

4.  Finish off with another round of misting. This step is optional, but if you’re going for a healthy, dewy sheen—mist once more.

In short: dew it for the glow. And improved moisturization, overall.

Meet Hyaluronic Dew Cream, the newest addition to our line-up of face creams and moisturizers.

WHAT IS HYALURONIC DEW CREAM?

Hyaluronic Dew Cream is a gel-cream hybrid that drenches skin in supreme yet lightweight hydration. Botanical-infused and packed with a Sodium Hyaluronate complex for multilevel moisturization, this silky moisturizer gives skin the boost it needs for a dewy finish and fresh-faced glow.

WHAT’S INSIDE?

• Supremely hydrating Sodium Hyaluronate complex
• Skin-replenishing Squalane
• Clarifying Thyme Extract
• Restorative Green Tea Extract
• Cooling, mineral-rich Cucumber Extract
• Soothing Aloe Vera

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL?

• Oil-free, cool-to-the-touch formula
• Light and glossy upon application, then sinks in seamlessly
• Features a host of hydration heroes, including two molecular weights of Sodium Hyaluronate and Squalane to help moisturize at different levels of skin
• Delivers supreme, silky-smooth hydration without the heaviness
• Gives skin a deliciously dewy finish

WHO IS IT FOR?

All skin types can use Hyaluronic Dew Cream, although its best suited for combination to oily skin. Normal to dry skin types will want to layer it with a serum like Herbal Hydrating Serum (for normal skin), Cellufirm Drops (for combo-dry skin), or Super Peptide Serum (for drier skin types).

HOW DO YOU USE IT?

Hyaluronic Dew Cream should be applied on freshly cleansed and toned skin, day and/or night. Or, take it to the next level and do as the aestheticians do: Mist with a Facial Spray first, then moisturize. Doing so may seem like an insignificant step, but it’s that in-between layer of botanical-infused hydration that can boost your skin’s moisture levels—and enhance your overall glow.

Here’s why. Sodium Hyaluronate (a humectant similar to Hyaluronic Acid, but has a smaller molecular size—which enables enhanced absorption) is known for its ability to pull moisture from its surroundings and bind that water into skin. By giving the Sodium Hyaluronate even more water to draw into the skin, you’re now increasing moisturization. This is where our Facial Sprays come in. As always, start with a clean slate. Liberally mist your complexion and—this is the trick!—while your skin is still dewy, apply Hyaluronic Dew Cream to seal everything in.

Use this as an opportunity to customize your own dewy duo. Simply pick a mist that best suits your skin’s mood du jour to personalize your moisturizing routine.

• In need of rejuvenation and clarity? Pair our Rose Facial Spray with Hyaluronic Dew Cream.
• In need of a restorative reset button? Go for the Cucumber and Green Tea mist first, then layer on Hyaluronic Dew Cream.
• In need of calm and comfort? Soothe stressed skin with our Vitamin C-infused, Lavender Facial Spray before applying Hyaluronic Dew Cream.
• In need of an energizing pick-me-up? Give skin an uplifting boost with this Orange Blossom face mist first, then lock it in with a layer of Hyaluronic Dew Cream.
