When perfume is not enough

We’ll be the first to admit that until we treated ourselves to a decadent facial at the Mandarin Oriental a few weeks ago we didn’t see what in the world the point of a body or facial mist was. Post our painful blackhead extracting procedure however, we couldn’t believe how relaxed we felt when the facialist enveloped our skin in the decadent scent of a jasmine mist.

Unfortunately, the mist used at the Mandarin Oriental was over $40 and that’s a bit too much to spend on something that wouldn’t last more than a few spritzes. As an alternative we’ve been using Dove’s new body mists which come in a variety of scents and are formulated with the same ingredients as their perfumes. They’re not the least bit dehydrating and even a few hours after spraying ourselves with the mist we’re often complemented on our scent. We’re not ditching our perfume all together, but for all-over-freshness we’re loving our new body mists.

Plus at $4.95 the mists are cheap enough that they can work double duty as room sprays…turning sneaker odor in a better direction!
