Martha Stewart, 83, loves this Mario Badescu facial spray that's $5 for Prime Day
This mist soothes irritated, sensitive skin and revives it in an instant.
Martha loves to snap selfies — in a swimming pool or a beauty salon — and even with nothing to frame her face but wet hair, Martha Stewart's skin is what 20-somethings would aspire to, let alone 50- and 60-somethings. Thanks to her facialist, we know that the fabulous octogenarian loves Mario Badescu — and right now the domestic diva's favorite facial spray is on sale at Amazon for just $5 for October Prime Day — that's over 30% off.
This mist soothes irritated, sensitive skin and revives it in an instant. It can also be used as a setting spray for a dewy finish.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
The facial spray gives you one of Stewart's favorite skincare products for less than the price of a sandwich. This stuff doesn't go on sale often, but when it does, it's worth grabbing a few bottles.
Why do I need this? 🧐
You don't have to look closely at the pics to see that Stewart has otherworldly skin. It's smooth with no visible pores! I can't get over it. I'm a little late to the great derm party that Martha raves about so I have some damage control to do. Isn't it awesome that some of the potions that help her glowing complexion look unspoiled by her 83 years aren't outrageously expensive?
Carmela Barabas told British Vogue about Martha's love for the Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater — she should know; she’s Martha’s fave facialist at the Badescu salon in New York City. Martha likes it for reviving dehydrated skin, but it can also soothe irritated and sensitive complexions, thanks to aloe. This formula contains clarifying thyme extract and rosewater, which can reduce redness and puffiness. Use it on its own or as a setting spray after you've applied your makeup.
What reviewers say 💬
More than 50,000 Amazon shoppers rave about this refreshing mist.
Pros 👍
"I absolutely love this rose water face hydrating spray!" shared one beauty enthusiast. "The scent is amazing—light, floral, and super feminine. It’s a refreshing boost for my skin, and I find myself reaching for it throughout the day. It leaves my face feeling hydrated and fresh without being heavy."
"I love this," wrote another five-star fan. "I use it mainly when I put on moisturizer and it really helps break it down and helps my skin soak it all in."
"My skin feels so rejuvenated after using it in my daily face washing," gushed another rave reviewer. "It’s honestly very nice on my skin, which is saying something because my skin is very sensitive with nearly everything out there. It’s been keeping my skin clean and refreshed. I also enjoy the smell as well."
Cons 👎
Some shoppers say they'd like it in a bigger size.
"I have very sensitive skin and this doesn’t give me any reactions!" wrote one reviewer. "I just wish the bottle was bigger because I’m almost out and I just got this like last week."
"The only downside [is] I wish it came in larger bottles for I use it on my whole body," shared another shopper.
You can also pick up this trio of facial sprays that includes cucumber, rose water and lavender mists.
For a complexion you want to show off on Instagram, Barabas suggests pairing customized home treatments with deep-cleansing facials. That means going to a specialist. Of course, not everyone has that kind of time or money, so she urged wearing sunscreen daily and removing makeup before bed.
Martha is also a fan of the Super Collagen Mask (also on sale — only $12 with Prime). She uses it to smooth out the texture of her skin as well as renew its elasticity. (That's what Stewart uses at home; at the salon, Barabas treats Stewart’s skin with a customized therapy that includes a detoxifying steam, a protein- and mineral-rich pearl powder, vitamin C and a special treatment to brighten sleepy eyes.)
Formulated to firm and tone, this mask promises to tighten mature skin while cleaning pores without drying. Perfect for sensitive skin, it's also soothing thanks to oatmeal, which helps to reduce redness and irritation.
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
