Facial mist user manual: What they are, what they are for, when they are applied and the best ones to hydrate your skin and achieve a refreshing effect

SARAH FLAMENCO

If a few days ago we told you that the toner is the great forgotten of your daily beauty routine, what are we going to tell you about the facial mist. Some, the least, we remembered them in summer, when we felt the need to refresh our skin due to high temperatures, but it is a beauty product that can (and some specialists would tell you should) be used throughout the year. We already know how the serum is used, the benefits of hyaluronic acid for your skin and how active ingredients such as retinol or vitamin C act, but what are facial mists and what are they for?

The first thing that strikes us about the facial mist is its easy application, but this is what causes skepticism since we do not believe that such a light product can be effective, it is absorbed quickly and does not need to be spread. Nothing could be further from the truth. Depending on the active components it contains and their concentration, the facial mist penetrates our skin, complementing the effects of the serum, cream and toner, never replacing them.

What is a facial mist for?

The facial mist refreshes, that's the first thing we notice when applying it, but it has many other benefits for our skin. In fact, if you have it sensitive, it can become your great ally.

In other words, they are enriched with minerals and trace elements capable of penetrating our skin and repairing the 'acid mantle' and, therefore, calming and moisturizing.

But they are not only recommended for people with sensitive skin, but we can all take advantage of their many benefits. They refresh, calm and illuminate the skin and, depending on which one you choose, can be used to set your makeup and even protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun since some have a sun protection factor.
