The Honest Truth About SPF Mists

A quick mist isn’t an SPF top-up. Here’s what you actually need to know.

We made an SPF mist, and we’re going to tell you exactly how to use it. Because when it comes to SPF, having it on your skin is only part of the story. How much you apply, how evenly you apply it and when you apply all matters too.

Enter On Repeat SPF50 Top-Up Mist: A super-fine, refreshing and hydrating SPF50 top-up mist designed to layer over your Airyday SPF Dreamscreen and move with you throughout the day.

But first, let’s clear something up.

The truth about SPF reapplication

We all know we’re meant to apply our sunscreen throughout the day. In theory, easy. In reality? Not always.

You apply your SPF in the morning, then life happens. Coffee outside. A walk that turns into a longer walk. Lunch in the sun. An afternoon that wasn't supposed to be spent outdoors.

Suddenly, you're spending more time in the sun than planned, and it's time for an SPF top-up.

This is where an SPF mist can have a place in your SPF Wardrobe.

But there’s an important distinction to know: A light mist and an SPF top-up are not the same thing.

A refresh isn't the same as an SPF top-up

A quick mist can feel amazing. It’s refreshing, hydrating and, particularly over makeup, an easy way to give your skin a little pick-me-up throughout the day.

But a light mist should not be confused with an SPF top-up.

When you’re applying SPF, coverage matters. You need to apply enough product, evenly, rather than simply giving your skin a quick spritz.

Primary SPF first. On Repeat second.

This is the part we’ll never compromise on.

On Repeat is a secondary SPF top-up. It is not a replacement for your Airyday SPF Dreamscreen.

Start your day with your fave Airyday SPF Dreamscreen, applied correctly and generously to your skin. Then, when you need a refresh or SPF top-up later in the day, reach for On Repeat.

Think of it as the touch-up layer in your SPF Wardrobe.

So, how do you actually use On Repeat?

For a refresh, lightly mist over your skin for a refreshing, hydrating pick-me-up. This is perfect over makeup – just remember, a light mist is a refresh, not your SPF top-up.

For an SPF top-up on the face, spray generously into your hands, then gently apply and pat evenly over the skin.

For an SPF top-up on the body, hold On Repeat 10–15cm away from the skin and apply liberally until your skin looks and feels wet. Then spread evenly.

And don't forget the spots the sun catches before you do – your neck, décolletage, shoulders, arms and legs.

Because with SPF, coverage matters, even in a mist.

Apply generously. Apply evenly. And top-up when you need to.

That's the honest truth.
