A face mist is a quick way to refresh your skin during the day. How much it helps depends on what is inside the bottle and where you use it in your routine.
What a good face mist does
A mist made with humectants, such as hyaluronic acid, helps hold water in the skin. Water alone can evaporate and leave skin feeling drier, so the ingredients matter.
Ingredients to look for
- Hyaluronic acid for hydration
- Niacinamide for skin that feels dry or irritated
- Rice protein for softer-feeling skin
- Vitamin E for help against daily pollution
Where it fits in your routine
- Cleanse with a gentle wash, like Glow Facial Wash.
- Mist your face while it is still slightly damp.
- Apply your serum, like Glow Potion Serum, then your moisturizer.
- In the morning, finish with sunscreen.
How to spray it
Hold the bottle 15 to 20 cm from your face, close your eyes and mist evenly. You can also use it over makeup or on your body whenever your skin needs refreshing.
Does a mist replace moisturizer?
No. A mist adds hydration and comfort, but dry skin still needs a moisturizer to keep that hydration in.
Glow Potion Mist
A light 100 ml face and body mist with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, rice protein and vitamin E. It refreshes dry-feeling skin and leaves a velvety finish with no greasy residue.
