The Benefits Of A Face Mist

I love a good face mist year-round and find them especially refreshing in the hot summer months! During one of our seasonal trainings, Jenna, a wonderful Rep for many of our brands, shared with us that she likes to keep her face mists in the refrigerator during the summer months so that when she ventures out into the heat, she has her chilled face mist to reset and refresh with! I thought this was genius, and I’ve been following her lead ever since!

There’s a common misconception that face mists are simply a novelty with no true value in a skincare routine. This is false! Face mist is a very efficient way to deliver hydration, antioxidants, and glow. Choosing a face mist that contains nutrient-rich ingredients is a great way to refresh the skin after cleansing, works as a midday pick-me-up, a makeup setting spray, or as a boost layer when applying sheet masks!

This new launch from Dermalogica just arrived in-store last week, and I’ve been spraying it on every face that will stand still long enough (mostly Reade, she’s a great sport!). The Hyaluronic Ceremide Mist packs a serious skincare punch, delivering long-lasting hydration by utilizing four types of Hyaluronic Acid and ceramides to smooth fine lines and strengthen the skin’s barrier.

There’s a running joke between Abby and me that if there ever was a fire, I must grab all the Maya Chia and bring it to safety with me. Yep, she loves it that much. So, this face mist is the top pick of the Skincare Queen herself - Maya Chia’s The Optimist. It’s a one-stop-shop for all things hydrating and brightening with a propriety blend of antioxidants, amino acids, and phytonutrients.

This is where my love for face mist all started! Mario Badescu’s iconic facial sprays have a serious cult-like following - and for good reason! Infused with natural botanical extracts like gardenia, rose, and thyme and formulated with nutrient-rich essential waters like cucumber and peppermint essential water, every Mario Badescu face mist leaves all skin types hydrated, glowing, and refreshed.
