Summer, summer, summertime, calls for the Rose + Mint Oil Free Hydrating Mineral Mist by Thirteen Organics. This Canadian brand is quickly developing a diverse product line to cater to different skin types and I’m so excited to give them a try! They have everything for your toxic-free, natural, organic, and vegan skincare needs. You won’t find any nasties in this brand, so don’t worry about parabens, petroleum, synthetic colors, or fragrances – they weren’t invited to this party. Oh, and if you were waiting for the cherry on top, all of their skincare is ethically sourced.
The Mythical Mist
I’m #conflicted because I’m still stuck in the 90’s mindset of harsh toners and astringents. We all remember the intense itch and ungodly burn of those colorful blue, purple, and red astringents that were applied to the face after an already oil-stripping cleanse. If it burns, that means it’s working…so they said. Then you were left with patchy, red, irritated skin thinking you got this skincare game on lock. Your face is on fire, but that’s okay because that means it’s working, right?! Fast forward to the 21st century, and toners have taken on a whole new identity. Today’s brands use potent natural botanical blends to nourish, balance, and brighten skin. I was extremely skeptical about the new toner identity, but the Thirteen Organics mineral mist has me sold.
The Spritz
The Rose + Mint Oil Free Hydrating Mineral Mist is a refreshing spritz for any time of day. The mineral mist is an infusion of organic ingredients such as aloe vera leaf juice, rose water, witch hazel, and peppermint floral water. It also blends magnesium oil, coconut fruit extract, cucumber fruit extract, and willow bark extract into a smooth, light-weight spritz that leaves your skin conditioned, balanced, and refreshed.
The peppermint floral water leaves a tingly sensation long after you mist, which is why it’s a favorite warm-weather product – it will leave your skin cool as a cucumber. And, the delightful rose water will make you feel like an enchanted fairy princess. But in all seriousness, you will also notice a healthier, calmer, and brighter complexion due to its hydrating and skin-soothing properties.
The Luxe
What I love about this product is its versatility. You can use it on its own as is, before applying your favorite moisturizer, to enhance makeup application, as a setting spray, or as a mid-day pick-me-up. My personal favorite is right before bed on those hot summer nights. My skin gets to soak in beautiful botanicals, while my senses bask in the luxurious scent of rose. The mineral mist is also a great option if you don’t want to do your usual full nighttime routine, and want to get away with something quick and effective. Another plus? All of their products are incredibly affordable, so you won’t have to spend a pretty penny on your pretty face!
