Find "Mist" Opportunities

Go from dry to dewy in a spritz. "Floral and herbal waters hydrate skin and keep it glowing," says Terri Lawton, a Los Angeles-based holistic skincare and wellness expert. Try a premade version like Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist ($21, jurlique.com), or make your own: Add 1/6 cup dried lavender and 1/2 teaspoon dried sage to 1 cup boiling water, says Marina Valmy, director of New York City's Christine Valmy Skincare. Remove from heat, add 25 rose petals (one large flower), and steep for two hours. Drain the mixture through a coffee filter, then refrigerate in a spray bottle.
