Here’s is why you need to include face mist in your skincare routine

Many of you have misunderstood face mist as scented water; it is actually more than that. Sometimes your skin may feel dry, stretched & dull after washing your face. And also, our skin misses out on water deposits at a rapid rate depending on the climate & environmental conditions. In this situation, the skin looks withered and dull. This state is known as Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL). So, face mist benefits the skin by rehydrating your skin at regular intervals to have glowing & healthy skin. Here is where the facial mist comes into the picture. 

What is face mist?

Does your skin feel dull & tired after a hectic day? Make your face squeaky clean by washing it with your favorite facial cleanser, and then spray face mist to give instant hydration & reap maximum results. A face mist comes in a liquid consistency that you spray on your skin. The micro-sized refreshing droplets of facial mists settle on the face to deliver a quick shot of hydration & moisture.

This fantastic scented water gives your skin what it desires - hydration, antioxidants & glow. It is a beneficial & super-effective skincare product when formulated with star ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin to seal the hydration for long.

Know the science behind face mist

From a scientific viewpoint, a face mist is not just a happening skin's reservoir of hydration with the goodness of active ingredients. A renowned dermatologist, Dr Jamuna Pai, explains, "A face mist keeps our skin healthy and youthful with skin-hydrating ingredients, like hyaluronic acid, thermal spring water, rose water and essential oils. The humectants in the mist give the skin an instant refreshing feel and dewiness. As soon as the skin gets hydrated, it plumps up and emits a healthy radiance.”

How is face mist effective for your skin?

Spritzing the facial mist during the day will stimulate hydration levels. When you spay a mist, it hydrates, soothes, calms and repairs the barrier function & acts as a protector for the skin. If you spend most of your time in a dehydrated environment, face mist serves as a skin-loving & hydrating partner to hydrate the skin throughout the day. Knowing how to use face mist to avail of facial spray benefits is necessary. 

Misting your face mist over your make-up shouldn't be done until it is important. Always use the mist after washing your face. Carry it in your bag while going to work or traveling. It is best to top the facial mist with an emollient moisturizer to trap the hydrating molecules in the skin for a longer time. Avoiding moisturizer after mist will make the skin drier. 

Is face mist necessary?

So every skincare product may not be a necessity for everyone. And using facial mist may not be an essential skincare step for some, but using the cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen is a must for everyone. Mist is the most convenient way to get an extra boost of hydration instantly & improves skin health. 

Choosing a suitable face mist for your skin type with good ingredients is key. It is also necessary to apply it at the right time and in the right way. The main rule of thumb is to seal the humectant-based mists with a more occlusive moisturizer, so the moisture doesn't escape. Face mist is a versatile & multi-tasking skincare product that makes skin look dewier, plumper & brighter. The results may not be permanent but significant for that very time.
