A boost for summer skin

What’s not to love about summer? Long sunny days, dinners al fresco, holidays abroad… but it’s not all so brilliant for our skin. The truth is that days in the office with air-conditioning, hours in the sunshine, or long flights can all play havoc, leaving skin parched and tired-looking.

But Simple have come up with a brilliantly…well, simple, solution. The Kind To Skin Moisture Boost Hydro Mist. Using the natural moisturising properties of Lotus flowers with added Glycerin, Pro-vitamin B5 and Vitamin E, the Hydro Mist intensively hydrates, making skin smooth, soft and nourished.

The brilliant part is how easy it is to use. Simply spray a fine mist over your skin whenever you feel it needs a lift—at work, on a plane, in the car— as it can be used either over or under make-up. And like all of the Simple Kind To Skin range it has no perfume, no colour and no harsh chemicals so it won’t irritate your skin.

But we like to put new products to the test, and as it doesn’t seem fair for us to always try these things ourselves, we handed over samples to 100 of you—our lovely allaboutyou.com readers—to try for yourselves and give us your feedback.

What did you say?

'It left me with a lovely dewy, healthy complexion,' was just one of the glowing responses we got and, in fact, over 93% of you said that it delivers an instant boost of hydration. The feedback was just as positive when it came to the product’s ability to be absorbed into the skin quickly (94% of you agreed) and 92% said that your skin felt more hydrated after using it.

Others praised the Moisture Boost Hydro Mist for its year-round benefits. 'Skin felt much softer and smoother after using. Would be really refreshing in summer,' was one comment, while another reader wrote, 'Good for winter weather; I have dry skin which dries out easily in cold air and wind. I loved being able to use it over makeup too.'

96% of you rated Simple Kind To Skin Moisture Boost 8 out of 10 or higher for easy application to the skin, saying it is, 'Quick and easy to use. A handy size to fit in the handbag and travel around with.'

Maybe most tellingly, 93% would recommend the product to a friend. Now, coming from your fellow allaboutyou readers with their own beauty high standards, that really is a recommendation.

Simple Kind To Skin Moisture Boost Hydro Mist is available from Boots and Superdrug, RRP: £4.99
