As someone with sensitive, dehydrated skin, when the Origins Hydra-Mist landed on my desk I couldn’t wait to try it and see if it could actually soothe my skin and make it feel comfortable in the middle of a flare up. Today I’m going to talk you through how it feels, what it’s made from and let you be the judge of if it’s something that could benefit you.

The Most Important Thing About This Hydra-Mist Is…

For me, it’s the fact it instantly calms dry, sensitive skin with just one spritz. It’s clear this gentle, soothing mist is tailored for irritated, dehydrated skin; it feels calming and hydrating. I also noticed that my skin felt more supple and looked dewier.

Origins say it effectively calms and reduces redness, ensuring comfort for sensitive skin. The antioxidant-rich formula also shields against environmental stressors, which is another bonus that is important to note.

What Skin Type Is It For?

Designed for dry, sensitive skin, the Mega-Mushroom Soothing Hydra-Mist quenches parched skin, leaving it feeling supple and dewy. It also calms and soothes irritated skin, reducing redness and discomfort. The mist further protects from environmental damage, promoting a healthy, radiant complexion.

You Will Love This If…

This mist will become your daily go-to if you have concerns around flare-ups, especially during commutes or when your skin feels dry or tight. It works as a perfect pick-me-up, even for those moments when your skin doesn’t feel particularly stressed. The Mega-Mushroom Soothing Hydra-Mist provides a midday boost, leaving you refreshed and invigorated.

Hero Ingredients:

Key ingredients include reishi mushroom, known for its revitalising and calming properties, and snow mushroom, renowned for intense hydrating power. The Molecular Mushroom Complex – created by Origins – fights reactive irritation and reduces visible redness. Additionally, responsibly sourced reishi fermented chaga acts as an adaptogen, promoting skin resilience and a calm overall look.

What Does It Feel Like?

The mist has a lightweight, refreshing texture that instantly absorbs into the skin, leaving no sticky residue. When sprayed, you’ll feel a water tank sensation, offering a refreshing touch. The water-based formula provides a unique balance between a super-fine mist and a water spray, allowing the particles to sit on your skin for added protection.

What Does It Smell Like?

Upon first spray, I noticed a subtle, spa-like fragrance with mandarin orange, patchouli, and lavender notes. The fragrance is designed to be safe for sensitive skin, providing an energising and relaxing aroma that adds a touch of luxury to your skincare routine.

How Do You Use The Product?

Spritz generously onto the face and neck throughout the day, whenever your skin feels parched or stressed. It can be layered underneath makeup for a dewy, radiant base or used as a refreshing toner after cleansing. I also used it on top of makeup, which didn’t disrupt my foundation or eye makeup. The mist dispenser ensures an even distribution of the hydrating mist.

What’s Special About The Design?

The Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Soothing Hydra-Mist comes in a sleek, travel-friendly 100ml bottle made from recyclable materials. I loved using the mist dispenser pump to distribute the hydrating mist evenly, which made it reliable for on-the-go use. The packaging reflects Origins’ commitment to sustainability and eco-conscious practices.
