Skin Hydration: In the last five years, we have been introduced to many skincare products that are different in terms of technology, innovation, format, texture, and type. Fairly new to this storm of products are face mists which existed in the past but, thanks to the brand position and marketing, were never sold rigorously. Face mists have captured a fair amount of market and let’s accept it, most of us carry a travel-sized bottle in our handbags, especially if you face the perils of staying in a hot and humid city. What feels better than a refreshing spritz on the face on a hot day on field, right?
However, beyond providing a cooling effect and lingering fragrance, are these an effective answer to boost skin hydration? Could there be a flip side to face mists? What’s the right order of including these in a skincare routine? We investigated.
How Do Face Mists Work?
More than a refreshing pick-me-up, face mists are now designed to deliver active and potent ingredients to the skin while also working on skin hydration and nourishment. “Face mists are fluid skincare products that are packed with ingredients which give hydration to the skin.
As we are looking for skin hydration, ingredients play an important role. Products with humectants are beneficial. “Ingredients you should look for in a mist include names like hyaluronic acid, glycerin tea tree oil, cica, vitamin C, niacinamide,” says Dr Nazim. With that, there’s a host of ingredients to be avoided; make sure to go through the ingredient label and steer clear of ingredients like alcohol and fragrances that might irritate the skin especially if you have sensitive skin type.
