If your skin is craving a refresh halfway through the day, a spritz of one of our essence spray face mists could be the revitalizing boost your skin needs.
But what are face mists, and what exactly do they do for your skin?
Here’s our complete guide to facial mists, teaching you how they benefit the skin and which ones you should be using for your skin type.
What is Facial Mist?
Face mist, facial mists, essence spray – what are they exactly?
If you’re big into your K-beauty trends, you may have heard the term ‘essence’ before. It’s a water-based skincare product that contains active ingredients to protect, hydrate and boost the skin.
In face mist form, these essence sprays distribute skin-loving ingredients evenly over the face with a convenient spritz. They’re also super handy to pop in your bag when you’re on-the-go!
What Does a Facial Mist Do?
Yes, they feel great on the skin, but beyond that, what do face mists do?
Essence sprays and facial mists can be infused with different skincare ingredients to target various concerns. Most commonly, face mists can be used to:
- Rehydrate skin
- Protect the skin
- Minimize the appearance of large pores
- Rebalance skin
- Energize and invigorate the skin
- Soothe sensitive skin
When to Use Essence Sprays
So, where does face mist fit into your skincare routine?
It’s recommended that to receive the full benefit of your essence spray, you should use it after cleansing and before serum. It can be used instead of toner or alongside it to mix and match your skincare ingredients and benefits.
Face mists can also be used throughout the day as a refreshing top-up.
Expert tip: Be sure to do your research before combining too many ingredients in your routine, as some pairings may cause irritation! If you’re unsure, check out our skincare ingredient guides.
