Top 5 Face Mists For Every Skin Type And How They Work

Post Image

Everyone has their daily routine, whether it be simple, very complex, or somewhere in between, the routine keeps us sane. For the majority of women and some men, their routine includes doing their makeup. Even though you could learn how to put on makeup from a YouTube video, I still struggle with all the steps to “properly” cake my face in the most natural way possible. Therefore, I stick with the “no makeup” makeup. It’s been working for me so far. However, I would like to learn how to properly do my makeup for a night out on the town and I desperately need to start using face mists. They are apparently all the rage these days.

You may think that beauty just comes naturally to some people, but in most cases, a lot goes into their effortlessly natural look. With what feels like a new beauty trend popping up every day, it’s hard to know which are keepers and which should be taken out with the trash. No one will admit this but everyone is wondering if face mists are really doing anything. With that being said, let’s take a look into face mists and what they can do for you. 

How Does Face Mist Work?

Smooth, Hydrated Skin

Simply put, a face mist is a liquid that’s jam-packed with soothing and hydrating ingredients. You may, however, be able to find face mists that have more astringent properties or even an oil-absorbing powder. But in general, when speaking about a face mist, it’s the liquid, hydrating kind. Depending on your skincare goals, there’s a face mist for you. They can be used at any point during the day and at any stage in your makeup routine. Some people use them instead of toners while others use them as a setting spray. Face mists are another way to deliver ingredients to your skin without using your hands or makeup brush. 

A lot of products on the market have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in addition to their ability to hydrate. Even though you don’t get a lot of product with a spray, the application is even and you don’t need to worry about rubbing anything in. You don’t technically need face mists in your skincare routine, but how many products do we really need? Not a lot. But just because they aren’t necessary doesn’t mean they can’t be useful. They can make your skin look more radiant and smoothen the application of makeup.

Are Face Mist And Toner The Same?

Look Out For Natural Ingredients In A Face Spray

Let me set the record straight. Face mist and toner are not the same at all. Toner is supposed to be used after you wash your face to remove any dirt that didn’t come off while you were washing. It’s also used to prepare your skin for moisturizer. But face mist can be applied at any time and is extremely nourishing compared to your typical toner. More recently, hydrating toners have appeared on the market and these are very similar to a hydrating face mist. 

Even though face mists all have the same concept, the ingredients of each one are what you need to look at to see if it’s really worth the spritz or money. Some ingredients you should look for when buying a face mist are emollients, aloe, and hyaluronic acid. The emollient is ideal for moisturizing your skin, as well as aloe and hyaluronic acid. If the product is mostly water, you should avoid it since too much water on your skin can be a bad thing. When the water evaporates from your face it can dry out your skin, just like your lips get more chapped the more you lick them. 

Top 5 Face Mist Sprays For Your Skin Type 

1. Korean Face Mist

The Korean skincare routine involves a lot of hydration and moisturizing. We are thought to wash our skin maybe twice a day. Once in the morning and before we go to sleep, but Korean women like to be hydrated for all of their days. It may sound intense to have 24/7 hydration, but that’s why we have face mists. The beauty stores in Korea have a mass amount of different kinds of korean face mists. Korean women have beautiful, porcelain-like skin, so we should definitely take a page out of their book. It’s also best to look for an SPF face mist, versus one without SPF. 

2. Rose Face Mist

Many people swear by rose water face mist. Rosewater isn’t a new invention. It’s been around for as long as roses have been which is about 14 centuries. A rose face mist can be extremely beneficial to your skin. Besides its amazing smell, it has the ability to reduce anxiety levels. This tends to happen when you smell something good, it makes you feel good all over. Rose face mist also helps restore our skin’s pH level. When your skin’s pH level is thrown out of whack, it can worsen skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, and rosacea.

3. Lilah B Aglow Face Mist

This lightweight face mist can fortify your skin while hydrating and invigorating. Lilah B Aglow Face Mist Is able to give you that dewy glow because it contains lavender essential oil, fig extract, knotgrass extract, and dandelion extract. All of these ingredients work together to firm and moisturize your skin while providing you with a sense of well being.  Many of these sprays disappear when you spray them on, but not this one. It’s a great way to set your makeup when you’re finished applying it. It’s also cruelty-free, paraben-free, and sulfate-free. 

4. Herbivore Rose Hibiscus Hydrating Face Mist

If your skin is dull or dry, then Herbivore Rose Hibiscus Hydrating Face Mist will be your new favorite product. It can be beneficial for all skin types, but it will specifically target dull and dry skin. This face mist stands out from the other rose water face mists because it has organic coconut water. Coconut water is packed with amino acids, essential proteins, and even a plant hormone called cytokinin that reduces redness. The face mist also contains hyaluronic acid which helps keep your skin moisturized throughout the day. It’s ideal to use this product after you clean your face. So in this case, it can take the place of a face toner. Shake the bottle before you use it and you should spritz it 3-5 times.

5. St Tropez Face Mist

The great detail about the St. Tropez Face Mist is that it is also a self-tanner. It may be terrifying to apply self-tanner to your face, because you don’t know if it will make you orange, but the St. Tropez Face Mist can put those worries to bed. The mist is clear, so you don’t need to worry about staining your clothes or sheets. It has a tropical scent that isn’t for everyone. Even though the face mist is a self-tanner, it won’t stay on your face for more than two days, especially if you wash your face and exfoliate during those days.

If you don’t quite believe the face mist hype, you’re not alone. Many believe that it’s just a gimmick to make you buy more products and believe that you need it. If you aren’t ready to spend the money or just want something more natural, then a natural DIY face mist recipe and guide is what you need. You’ll also need a few spray bottles to make the best hydrating face spray. It’s better to have opaque bottles, so the light doesn’t break down the ingredients and make them ineffective. 

For an easy recipe, fill up half the bottle with water and add a lot of drops of lavender essential oil. The scent of the lavender oil will help relax you after a long day. After you added the lavender essential oil, fill up the rest of the bottle with aloe vera gel and shake it up. Before putting it on your face, you should do a patch test on your wrist. Everyone has different sensitivities and lavender essential oil may be fine for me, but not so fine for you. When it’s safe, you can spritz it onto your skin at any point of the day for instantly soothed skin and feel relaxed.

Conclusion

There are many different types of face mists on the market today. The most common is a hydrating face mist, but there are also oil-controlling mattifying mists. The oil-controlling mists are for people with oily skin and large pores. It will instantly mattify the skin and remove all the shine. Sounds nice, right? There’s also brightening and cooling mists. Most mists have soothing properties, but not all can literally cool you down.

Both extracts have cooling properties. 

Whether you suffer from inflammation, redness, or irritated skin, there’s a face mist for it. Adding another step to your beauty routine may sound like a hassle, but face mists are anything but a hassle. They are easy to use and don’t make a mist.

That’s the great thing about face mist, it can be applied whenever and wherever. If you’re looking for a quick pick me up or more dewy looking skin, you should definitely go get yourself a face mist.
