Silly season seems to be very fast approaching and now is the time to dial things down a notch and plug into your go-slow self-care to avoid the craziness that can be anyone’s downfall when we push ourselves too much. Let’s rather glide into this festive season with grace, towards ourselves and everyone else we encounter. It offers a much more enjoyable experience all round. 3 tips to instant re-fresh, re-boot and re-energise:
Nothing says “instant refresh” like a cool spritz of my Liquid Vitamin Hydra Mist, especially when it’s been chilling in the fridge. In summer, this small trick turns into a lifesaver, offering a mini escape from the heat and those moments when you need to “pause” and reset. I find myself reaching for it throughout the day, whenever I feel overheated, stressed, or simply need a dose of hydration and calm. Here’s why this frosty habit is a summer essential—and how it can help you *and* your skin stay calm and collected this festive season.
1. Chill Out Moments for Stress Relief
Taking a quick, mist-filled pause brings an instant wave of cool, calming vibes. Pop open the fridge, give yourself a spritz, and breathe deeply as the botanical superfoods do their magic. It’s an easy way to combat festive stress and keeps your skin glowing and hydrated no matter how intense things get.
2. Cool Your Skin, Cool Your Nerves
Heat can be irritating, literally and emotionally. By keeping your mist cool, you’re giving your skin a fresh, balancing boost that instantly soothes irritation. This cooling effect can help you feel more centred—so whether you’re in a holiday rush or just need to unwind, it’s the perfect mini-reset.
3. Glow Up and Show Up
Let’s face it—hydrated skin is happy skin. This mist is packed with vitamins that keep your skin glowing, even when the holiday hustle feels non-stop. So before your next gathering, take a moment to mist up and enjoy a bright, dewy glow as you show up looking fabulous and feeling refreshed.
The Eco Diva Liquid Vitamin Hydra Mist comes in a mini 50ml – R225 and a retail size 100ml – R465
Keeping your Facial Mist in the fridge is my go-to trick for a glow-filled summer. Try it, and let your skin and mind soak up the chill!
