A face mist spray does more than refresh your skin on a hot day. The right one can address your skin concerns and improve its overall appearance. Face mists are mostly associated with glowing skin. However, it is now essential to women, especially in warm climates. Variants of late go beyond frivolity and offer serious benefits. Here’s how face mists can make your skin glow with health.

Delivers Instant Hydration

Primarily composed of water, face mists can instantly quench your skin’s thirst on a topical level. However, it works best when layered between moisturizing skincare products, such as serums and moisturizers.

When you use a face mist spray alone, it can draw water from the skin as it evaporates. Overuse it and you dry up your skin. A layer of serum or moisturizer seals the water in and keeps the skin hydrated longer. If you plan to use your face mist this way, look for one that contains emollients like glycerin or occlusives like squalene.

Soothes Sensitive Skin

Some face mists can calm redness and irritation often present in sensitive skin. Avoid fragrance, alcohol, and other ingredients that may be irritating, such as exfoliants or essential oils. Instead, go for a face mist spray with gentle ingredients, like aloe vera, grape water, or chamomile. With the list of face mist benefits growing by the day, you’ll find one to fit your skin's needs exactly.

Controls Breakouts

Yes! A face mist spray can be your new BFF in fighting pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Kinds with AHAs can help prevent oil, sweat, bacteria, and dead skin from clogging the pores. They are helpful, especially in keeping maskne at bay.

Primes, Sets, and Revives Makeup

Face mist products have diversified over the years to include those that work as both makeup and skin care. These hybrids are silicone-free and pore-friendly, devoid of ingredients that can clog or irritate the skin. Using a face mist spray to prime and set makeup adds a layer of hydration that causes glowing skin and a more natural look. You also use it to revive makeup throughout the day. Just use your fingers to re-blend.

Boosts Product Absorption

Misting your face in between skincare products can help improve absorption.

Spritzing on a face mist that doesn’t have actives that would counter your skin care can help improve absorption. Since damp skin is more permeable than dry skin, a light misting all over the face preps the skin for essence, serum, and moisturizer. Read the label for ingredients like exfoliants that may clash with your products and irritate your skin.

Pack a face mist spray in your everyday bag to reap all these benefits and ultimately, glowing skin. However, it's not a replacement for cleansing. At the end of a long day, wash your face with POND'S Bright Miracle Ultimate Acne Control Facial Foam to remove the day's dirt and grime. Make these habits and you're on your way to having glowing skin.
