8 Of The Best SPF Face Mists To Protect Your Skin This Summer

French pharmacy brand La Roche-Posay is one of our most trusted brands when it comes to sun protection and we love this one not only because it offers a high protection factor (SPF50), but also because it won’t leave your face feeling greasy. Everyone has the fear of reapplying SPF only to be left looking like a greasy mess but with their anti-shine formula, La Roche-Posay has mastered their formula for oily/combo skin types. It's gentle, so an ideal SPF for kids, too.

When it comes to sunscreen formulas, we have implicit trust in Australian brands who take their protection incredibly seriously. Naked Sundays is another new SPF brand that also happens to be Australian founded. The completely invisibly formula has added Australian botanicals including Kakadu plum which is rich in vitamin C to help boost your glow. Along with that there is also hyaluronic acid for extra moisture, so you don’t have to worry about any caking when you apply this over your make-up.

With daily application including touch ups, stocking up on SPF can quickly add up. Thanks to Garnier however you don’t have to skimp on formula when you’re saving on price. Another one of our favourite SPF brands, Garnier’s Over Makeup Super UV is designed to do exactly what it says on the can and be sprayed directly on top of your made up face. It has one of the finest misters we have come across so you don’t need to worry about it disrupting your make-up, or leaving your face shiny or greasy.

Reapplication is one thing but ensuring you don’t miss any areas is just as important. The hairline, scalp and ears are some of the most common areas we can burn, but thankfully Ultrasun are here to help with their UV Face & Scalp Mist. The mist is completely invisible, so you can spray it along your hairline without worrying what you’ll look like and having a 2-in-1 product means less to carry round in your bag.

Coola is a brand that actively makes you excited to apply your SPF. Their make-up setting spray is enriched with hyaluronic acid to help plump out dehydrated skin as well as aloe and cucumber to soothe and green tea, peony leaf and Juniper berry which are packed with antioxidant benefits. This will give you a top up of SPF 30 as well as setting your make-up, leaving behind a semi-matte finish.

Dermatologist Kate Somerville knows the importance of daily SPF application and she has made it a whole lot easier with her Soft Focus Makeup Setting Spray. The super fine mist makes it easy to reapply directly after make-up and throughout the day. It also means the products is dispersed more evenly, so you get adequate protection.  As with all of your SPF mists, make sure you reapply 15 minutes before sun exposure if possible, reapply every 2 hours and spray 8-10 inches from the face.

Bondi Sands is a brand you might normally associate with tanning, but as another Australian native, they know how to do SPF well. Their sunscreen mist is fragrance-free making it ideal for all skin types including sensitive and as well as delivering 72 hours of much-needed hydration, it also leaves behind a non-greasy, invisibly finish.

Over the past few years there's been an explosion of SPF brands on the market is and Hello Sunday is one of the new, cool kids on the block. Their Retouch mist is specifically designed for on the go touch ups and as well as providing SPF30, it also protects from blue light and environmental damage.
