9 Refreshing Face Mists To Keep Your Skin Glowing All Day
Stay hydrated in the heat by spritzing on these refreshing face mists for a quick pick-me-up and an instant glow.
If your shot of espresso isn’t enough to keep you awake through the afternoon while you work from home, consider spritzing on a facial mist from time to time for an instant perk-me-up.
As facial mists are formulated with a cocktail of skin-loving ingredients, they can help to nourish, hydrate and soothe your complexion.
Now, some facial mists have earned a reputation for leaving your complexion dry once it evaporates. But take note this situation only occurs if the spray you use does not contain humectants – or moisturising agents – which helps to retain moisture on your skin while preserving the overall properties of the product.
Here, we suss out the facial mists that will help freshen up – and hopefully – battle those zzzs.
