A face mist is a water-based, skincare-infused liquid that helps to hydrate, soothe and refresh your complexion.

Similar to toners, face mists can help hydrate, refresh, minimise the appearance of pores and prep your skin for better absorption of your skincare products. Some face mists also include ingredients like vitamin C to brighten, hypochlorous acid to soothe or peptides to plump.

Apply your face mist right after cleansing to lock in hydration. But don’t stop there, you can also spritz it between serums for an extra boost, over makeup for a luminous finish, or after the gym to feel instantly refreshed. There are no strict rules, use it whenever you need a quick pick-me-up!
