Why this worksFacial mists provide a quick hit of hydration, helping to soothe and refresh the skin. They often contain ingredients like glycerin or aloe vera, which can help retain moisture and improve the skin's overall feel. Using a mist can also enhance the absorption of other skincare products applied afterward, making your routine more effective.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Choose the right mist Look for a facial mist that suits your skin type. Ingredients like rose water are great for dry skin, while those with tea tree or witch hazel work well for oily skin.
  2. Prep your skin Start with a clean face. This helps the mist to penetrate and hydrate effectively.
  3. Apply the mist Hold the mist about 20-30 cm from your face, close your eyes, and spray evenly. Let it dry naturally for the best results.
  4. Layer with skincare After misting, follow up with your serums and moisturisers to lock in the hydration. This will maximise the benefits of your products.

Where people go wrong

Many people use mists as a substitute for moisturiser, which isn’t ideal. Others apply them on dirty skin, reducing effectiveness. Over-spraying can lead to product waste and an uncomfortable residue.

The pro moveFor an extra refresh, keep your mist in the fridge during hot weather for a cooling effect.
