Brianne Howey refreshes her skin while filming for Netflix's Ginny and Georgia with an £18 face mist
Ginny and Georgia series three hit Netflix with a bang last week, and if you've already binge-watched all ten episodes, you're not alone. News that series four has been confirmed broke over the weekend, so we're looking to get our G+G fix in other ways until it's back on our screens.
We've been doing a bit of research into Georgia star Brianne Howey's skincare routine, after spending all of series three gawking in awe at her flawless skin. And while she doesn't post too much herself on Instagram outside of sharing glamorous snaps from premieres, we did come across her whole skincare regime courtesy of Glamour US.
Speaking about filming for Ginny and Georgia, Brianne said: 'There are lots of emotional scenes, so you're taking makeup off, then reapplying. That's where I feel like I have to take the most care of my skin.'
She then goes on to list a host of rather pricey products, including two buys from La Mer, she turns to while filming. However, in amongst the high-end products is an affordable gem that you can shop over here: Caudalie's Beauty Elixir, £18 on LookFantasti c.
"I didn't discover Caudalie until I was in Paris this summer," she explained. "Obsessed. I use it too much. I go through a bottle every two weeks. She smells so good. My girlfriend also swears by it for hangovers."
Tick and tick. Made with 100% natural-origin ingredients, this multitasking mist is basically your skin's new BFF, prepping it before make-up, setting everything in place and giving your complexion a little pick-me-up whenever it needs it – ideal for Brianne to mist in-between scenes. The formula is as soothing as it sounds: a refreshing burst of moisture that instantly smooths, soothes and plumps, leaving you with a soft, dewy luminosity. It's no wonder this little green bottle is beloved by A-list make-up artists and celebrities alike, including Margot Robbie and Victoria Beckham.
It packs a glow-boosting trio of green grape, orange blossom and a medley of nourishing plant oils, all working together to deliver antioxidant goodness and a rosy, radiant finish. And while it's handy if you're on film, it's equally as useful if you're mid-commute, on a plane, post-workout or heading to dinner from your desk.
There isn't a mention on Caudalie's product page of it being a little-known hangover cure, but we can see where Brianne is coming from. The mist gives a temporary pore-tightening and toning effect– kind of like a cold compress with attitude. The minty, herbal scent and fine mist are also very invigorating. It's like splashing your face with a fancy herbal iced tea. Since the smell of mint is also known to relieve nausea, it's very likely the scent of the mist also helps with that.
While the Caudalie Elixir is well worth the £18 for 30ml, if you're looking for a lower cost alternative to try out before you commit, you can get a bottle of Pixie's Glow Mist for £7.99 on TK Maxx at the moment – perfect for the upcoming muggy weather.
