Face Mist Tips

It’s easy to assume that a face mist is just a fancy spritz of water to freshen up during the day, but for us skincare enthusiasts in-the-know, a face mist is one of the most versatile and underrated products on the market, and is one step in the skin care ritual that would never be skipped. A quick spritz every day, morning and night, after cleansing the skin is a must.

Why? Face mists provide the necessary function of hydration. Especially those that contain organic hydrosols (i.e. plant ‘water’) as a base. A quick spritz before applying your serum, beauty oil and/or moisturiser boosts the absorption of these nourishing products, as well as helping to prevent sensitivity reactions. A quick spritz after applying makeup is also a handy little trick, as it helps remove that ‘powdery’ finish and gives a more natural look. 

If you’re not a face mist lover, or have been disappointed in the past, then I strongly encourage you to try any one from the brands that we stock. The number of emails that we receive from customers who are face-mist-converts after using one of ours, is countless. The benefits are far too favourable to skip the spritz.

What is a face mist

A face mist (also called a toner) provides much needed hydration in today’s modern world, and wonderful benefits for the skin and complexion with water soluble actives that address certain skin concerns.

Who should use a face mist

Everyone, irrespective of your age or skin concern.

How to use a face mist

Spritz a mist over your face after cleansing, when your skin is clean.  Follow with a serum and / or face oil and / or moisturiser.

Face Mists are also brilliant for spritzing lightly over makeup. It helps to give a more dewy fresh and natural look after makeup application.

You can also spritz a face mist throughout the day as desired to freshen your complexion and perk up tired looking skin.
