As beauty lovers, we all know that we should be using an SPF every day but, realistically, most of us don’t - and for one simple reason: most sun creams are really unpleasant to wear on your face. Either too thick or too white, they can feel heavy, greasy and give you a ghost-like sheen. Luckily though, there’s a whole new trend of SPF mists that offer the UV protection you need without the downsides of a cream.  

Get ready Glossies, because I’m about to revolutionise your view of SPF (because an SPF should be worn every day, even through out winter!).

Six Gaming-Changing SPF Mists 

1. VICHY Capital Soleil Solar Protective Water Hydrating SPF50 

This refreshing and hydrating water is the answer to all of our SPF prayers!  

Not only is it infused with SPF50, but it boasts 40% Vichy Mineralising Water and hyaluronic acid too. This not only protects your skin from harmful UV rays and premature ageing, but it hydrates your skin for a smooth, soft finish as well. Throw your SPF creams away, Glossies, this is the only one you need from here on out! 

2. PIXI Sun Mist 

This is another winner! Combining sunflower and cucumber extracts with broad spectrum SPF30, this mist conditions, hydrates and cools your skin, all whilst protecting it from the sun.  

One of the best SPF mists out there, you can apply it before or after your makeup, then carry it around with you to refreshingly spritz onto your skin throughout the day.  

3. Garnier Ambre Solaire UV Water Aloe Vera Clear Sun Cream Spray SPF30 

I couldn’t make a list of the best SPF mists and not include this gem!  

Enriched with ultra-moisturising Aloe Vera water and broad spectrum SPF30, its water-like texture instantly shields your skin from sun damage, whilst refreshing and hydrating it too. Simply shake it before use, then mist it onto your skin as the last step of your skincare routine. 

4. OSKIA SPF Vitamin Mist 

Though on the pricier side, this SPF mist is worth the investment! 

Not only does it protect your skin with an SPF30, but its formula is abundant in antioxidants that shield your complexion against pollution and harsh weather too. Irritation, dullness and premature ageing will all become a thing of the past thanks to this revitalising mist!  

5. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Anti-Shine Sun Protection Invisible SPF50+ Face Mist 

La Roche-Posay never seem to get it wrong, and this SPF mist is proof of that. 

Designed specifically for blemish-prone and oily skin types, it boasts a light, fresh texture that creates an invisible, breathable veil over skin to ensure a long-lasting matte finish with no white marks. It’s also ultra-moisturising and has an SPF50 broad spectrum to shield your skin from UV rays. What’s not to love? 

6. NUXE Sun Melting Spray for Face and Body SPF 50 

If you’re chasing that tropical sent now that autumn is fast approaching, then you’ll think that the NUXE Sun Melting Spray for Face and Body SPF 50 is one of the best mist SPFs out there! 

Blending sweet orange, Tahitian gardenia and coconut, it leaves a gorgeous scent on your skin. Its protective formula also defends both your face and your body from harmful UV rays, preventing premature ageing, pigmentation and sun spots. This has to be one of my favourites! 

Don’t compromise on greasy SPF creams, Glossies. Opt for a refreshing spray that does the job just as well, and cares for your skin at the same time. Your complexion will thank you for it!
