FACE OFF

With more sun on the horizon, we test SPF face mists at all price points

ACCORDING to the weather forecast, tomorrow will be the last day of rain for a while.

So, with sun on the horizon, I’ve been testing SPF face mists which can be used under or over make-up.

Budget

It's hard to find fault with a factor 50 SPF for less than £10 that's also fragrance free and doesn't leave any blotchesCredit: Supplied

Bondi Sands SPF 50+ fragrance-free face mist, was £8.99 now £4.49 for 60ml, superdrug.com: Finding a factor 50 SPF for less than £10 is hard enough, never mind one that’s fragrance free and comes in a mist fine enough to not leave white blotches or ruin make-up.

This is not greasy and doesn’t leave a white cast. Plus it is readily available at Superdrug, Boots and Asos.

I cannot find a fault with this mist at all, other than I wish it came in a bigger size.

But at least the mini can is handbag friendly so it’s easy to top up regularly.

Mid-range

This option definitely feels more luxe than the option above, and the can is slightly bigger - but you'd expect that, given the price differenceCredit: Supplied

Ultrasun SPF50 UV face & scalp mist, £20 for 75ml, lookfantastic.com: To my delight, this mist isn’t heavy or sticky at all, and it’s even finer than the Bondi Sands spray.

You can spray it on your scalp and it won’t make hair look dirty or sweaty.

Plus it didn’t cause me to break out which is something I often worry about with suncream.

It does have a light scent, which is something to bear in mind if you usually find them irritating.

I found it slightly stung my eyes when I first applied it but this quickly disappeared.

It definitely feels a little more luxe than the Bondi Sands, and the can is slightly bigger, but you would expect that, given the price difference.

This is a super light mist, and it stands up against a week in the 35C Italian sunshine - the only issue is the priceCredit: Supplied

Decree Day Shield Spf 30, £75 for 75ml: This is the lightest mist I have ever used. If it wasn’t for the cooling effect, you wouldn’t even know it was landing on your face.

Yet it stood up against a week in 35C Italian sunshine, so definitely still provides plenty of protection.

If you normally hate suncream, I guarantee you’ll get on with this.

If I had all the money in the world, I probably wouldn’t use anything else, but at £1 per millilitre it’s a lot to spend when there are great options – such as the Bondi Sands spray – for a fraction of the price.
