Great advice. I personally use Vichey Mineralizing Thermal Water. I also use the Evan “water” spray, yes it is only water. I get seriously red and blotching in the summer and this mist is amazing. I have used Garner Cleansing Water, such a great product when you are wanting soft products and non parabens. I loved how soft it left my skin, and now I am wondering if Need more! Great post!
