Facial Mist: Take Care Of Your Skin And Balance Your Mood

In specialized wellness and beauty circles , facial mists are often spoken of , a cosmetic product that has been part of my care routine since I turned my sight towards a natural, real, responsible and respectful beauty.

I’ve always been drawn to these facial mists. On the one hand, because they are multifunctional, that is, they can be used for different purposes. And, on the other hand, because I can easily apply them when I need them, with just one stroke of spray. In addition, they are customizable.

Everything you need to know about face mists

They are liquid and light solutions made from hydrolates or floral waters, plant extracts and essential oils.

Depending on the ingredients that we find in their composition, they provide different benefits to the skin, but their function par excellence is to refresh and decongest the face.

Essences to decongest

To this end, I like to find among its ingredients hydrolates of lavender, chamomile, calendula extract, or purified spring waters, capable of soothing the skin, reducing redness and providing comfort.

Energizing and revitalizing essences

However, when I am looking for an energizing and revitalizing effect, I lean towards assets such as citrus essences.

Among these citrus essences, those of lemon, mandarin, grapefruit, bergamot or orange, in addition to being invigorating, act as allies of good humor and creativity.

There are many studies that support the use of this type of essences as enhancers of communication, relationships and inspiration in work environments. This translates not only into an improvement in work performance but also in the well-being and stress reduction of workers.

All this indicates that the diffusion of a mist can act far beyond the skin level. It is what promotes integrative and holistic cosmetics.

How do you use facial mists?

The use of these mists is very simple:

• Most usually include a spray dispenser that allows you to enjoy a “dew” effect on the skin.
• They are sprayed at a distance of about 5-10 cm from the face on dry skin, at any time of the day.
• They can also be applied with the help of cotton pads soaked in the product, but in this way, the refreshing spray effect on the skin, which is so interesting in these types of references, is lost.
• Then it is allowed to dry naturally on the face, by evaporation.
• Shake before using. If the chosen mist contains dispersed particles inside, such as plants, flowers or even gems, it must first be shaken gently so that the properties of the ingredients are activated and integrated.

When are face mists used?

1. When putting on makeup

Mists are useful before and after a makeup session. They work both by preparing the skin and fixing the makeup, so that it stays intact for more hours.

2. When you do sports

They are also interesting when practicing sports or after a training session, as they help prevent oxidation and the effects of free radicals.

3. In dry environments

In spaces with little ventilation or, in winter, when heating is used, they help to avoid the feeling of dryness and tightness.

4. In summer

And, of course, when the heat is on they are very refreshing. In fact, they can be used anytime you feel the skin needs to be revived.
