September is a month of transition — the last golden rays of summer give way to the crisp clarity of autumn. Just as our wardrobe shifts, our skin also needs deeper hydration, gentle renewal, and botanical nourishment.
This season, IRMA selects five facial mists to rehydrate, refresh, and prepare your complexion. For brightening and balance, try Royal Fern’s Photo Active Skin Perfecting Essence. For a fresh boost, reach for Kruut’s Slow Routine Organic Wild Rose Facial Toner. Each mist is the perfect primer for your skincare routine or a hydrating pick-me-up throughout the day.
And as always: beauty begins within — aim to drink at least 2.5 litres of spring water daily, ideally from glass bottles.
1. Aesop Immediate Moisture Facial Hydrosol
A revitalising mist with rose petal, bergamot, and chamomile that instantly refreshes tired skin. Perfect for afternoons spent at your desk or travels where air conditioning and recycled air steal away your glow. Keep it close, and let each spritz feel like a little reset button for your skin and mind.
2. Royal Fern Phytoactive Skin Perfecting Essence
Developed by dermatologist Dr. Timm Golueke, this essence is a true multitasker. Balancing, brightening, and strengthening — it prepares the skin for serums and moisturisers while leaving it plump and smooth. Think of it as the perfect segue from summer lightness to autumn nourishment.
3. Buly 1803 Eau Ionisée
The Parisian apothecary’s Véritable Eau Ionisée is more than cleansing water; it’s a ritual. Ionised and purified, it refreshes the skin while respecting its delicate balance. A timeless beauty staple that feels as luxurious as its ornate label suggests.
4. Fennel & Lemon Water
Beauty begins within — and this month, IRMA recommends fennel and lemon-infused water. A refreshing digestive aid and natural detoxifier, it’s the simplest way to help your skin transition into autumn with clarity. Prepare in a glass tumbler, sip slowly, and let hydration become a daily ritual.
5. Kruut Slow Routine Wildrose Bio Facial Toner
This organic facial tonic is calming, hydrating, and infused with wild rose. Gentle yet effective, it soothes irritation while restoring natural glow. Ideal for evenings when you want your routine to feel grounding and nurturing — a slow ritual for a fast-paced season.
IRMA’s Tip:
Layer hydration. Begin with an essence, mist throughout the day, and finish with a calming tonic at night. Your skin will thank you for this gentle rhythm, especially during seasonal change.
