"   The big skincare brands like to remind us beauty journos (with dollar signs flashing in their eyes) that in Asia, women have 9 or even 12-step skincare routines. Wouldn&amp;#039;t we like to write about that and convince our readers it&amp;#039;s the way to go? Well, no - I think most women would be more interested in cutting their routines in half while getting twice the benefit from their potions. But that&amp;#039;s not to say that layering your products is a waste of time. For one, some ingredients suit water-based formulations while others function in oil bases, so you can&amp;#039;t always pack everything you need in one potion. Also, topping products with a high moisture content, like serums, with thicker, creamy formulas, is the best recipe for long-lasting hydration. So I quite like the idea of lotion/toner/mist with benefits; I have been known to splash SKII lotion (hydrating and gently brightening) under my serum (wrinkle-fighting) under my day cream (hydrating and protecting) under my rosehip oil (barrier-boosting and glow-giving). But then, I&amp;#039;m spoilt (and dehydrated). You don&amp;#039;t have to go mad like me; some of these skin-boosting lotions are so packed with actives, you could use them in place of a serum. Just spray or dab on before your moisturiser. The mists, of course, have the added benefit of you being able the spritz them every time your face needs water, but you don&amp;#039;t want to ruin your makeup. Filorga Eau Anti-Age Anti-Ageing Mist, \u00A354 - Boasts 72 ingredients (a bit much?!) including antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid, all in a super-fine mists that promises to penetrate deeply into skin. They even advise you spray it on the backs of your hands. Cr\u00E8me de la Mer The Mist, \u00A350 - Full of Cr\u00E8me&amp;#039;s mysterious &amp;#039;miracle broth&amp;#039; (it&amp;#039;s algae, not chicken-based, thankfully), this soothes upset skin and charges it with moisture. More of a spray than a mist, so spritz with care. L&amp;#039;Occitane Immortelle Divine Lotion, \u00A330 - This is somewhere between a liquid and a serum, and the 200ml bottle will last ages. Hydrating, brightening, firming and smoothing, it works hard for the money. Urban Decay B6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray, \u00A328 - This doesn&amp;#039;t only have protective antioxidants, it also packs vitamin B6 to absorb oil, minimise pores and reduce redness. Add salicylic acid (they did) for added pore-purging, purifying power and you have the perfect face mist for oilier complexions. Clayspray H2O Water Spray, \u00A317.50 - This is just water, but it&amp;#039;s not just water - it&amp;#039;s Spanish mountain spring water full of minerals. Perfect for hot, sticky days as it gives satisfyingly big blasts of fine water mist, and has soothing properties to boot. \u00A0 THE COSMO BEAUTY LAB 100 MASCARAS TESTED ON ONE EYE!
