Washing hands with soap for 30 seconds is an essential and well-promoted way to stay safe these days. But we’ve just found a trick that less people talk about, yet it might be a great add-on to everything you’re already doing and will certainly make you feel more confident and calm during the day.
And that is, drum roll, a FACE MIST! Spraying your face to protect yourself from COVID-19 was first mentioned by Mona Gohara, a board-certified dermatologist with a Yale diploma (ok, we’re convinced). According to Mona and her friend, also a Yale doctor and an immunologist, coronavirus is less likely to survive in humid, moist conditions – exactly the environment you’re creating with a mist!
The best news is that according to Dr. Christina Price, clinical chief of allergy and immunology at Yale, it’s all about the moist environment and not the specific ingredients, so you can use ANY mist at all. Good to know!
Here are a few face mists from New Zealand brands that you can buy online and get delivered to your door. All products are natural and contain only healthy, safe ingredients. Stocking up on quality skincare while also supporting local businesses at these uncertain times? It’s a win-win!

REMEMBER! Applying a face mist regularly DOES NOT replace standard hygiene procedures
and can only be used as an extra preventative measure.
