What’s a face mist, and how does it work?

Let’s begin by understanding exactly what face mists are. Face mists are basically skincare sprays for your face enriched with active ingredients, vitamins and essential oils. Its main purpose is to hydrate, soothe and nourish the skin. Depending on the ingredients, face mists also help control excess sebum production, improve skin texture, set makeup, tighten pores and make your skin look lustrous.

Don’t confuse face mist with toners. While toner is an astringent that works to shrink pores and clean your skin deeply, a face mist simply helps hydrate and moisturise it. All you gotta do is take your face mist, close your eyes and spritz it on your face from about a distance of 10 inches. You can use it in the morning, before makeup, after applying or whenever your skin needs a boost of hydration.
