There was a time when we scoffed at the idea of spending real cash on a spray can of water. We were so innocent then. Today, every brand worth its salt has brought out a facial mist – “vitamin-infused”, “make-up setting”, “tanning”, “radiance restoring”… While I have no doubt they perform all these magical tricks, their real skill is sitting on your desk to calm you down after a sweaty rush to work. A priceless task, if you ask me.
