Different Mists and their Functions

What are mists?

I am referring to facial mists!  The products you see housed in a spray bottle or atomizer!  A product where I mostly set aside because these are "extras".  Little did I know after 10 plus years of Blogging, I would cling on this extra step as an integral part of my skincare regimen!

So there are a whole lot of Face Mists brands out their with fancy names - Face Mists, Toning Water, Atomizer, Makeup Setting Spray, Oil-control spray and a whole lot more!  So do they all work the same or should you read into details before you push them aside?

I highly recommend you to go for the latter!

I have a couple of face mists that I have tried through the years (I apologize for missing out some as I'm sure I did!)  But these are just some of the ones I use and yes, I alternately use them on different occasions for different purposes and you'll find at least 1 face mist in my bag, my table and inside the car!  (Not putting atomizers inside the car though for safety!)

Shall we begin?

If I plan to keep my skin hydrated all throughout the day, I use Avene Thermal Spring Water (Php750.00 for 150ml available at Watsons), this bottle mainly contains water and just like our body, whenever I feel like my skin is hydrated, I would immediately pull this bottle out and give my skin a breathe of fresh water!

This bottle is great for hiking as well!  Tested to refresh my senses!

Now if water ONLY doesn't make the cut because you have dry skin or your skin tends to try midday with makeup on --- go for Face Mists.

Face Mists like Esfolio Nutri-Snail Daily Soothing Mist (Php399.00 available at select stores and online stores), these types of products does not only contain water but also ingredients that keep our skin hydrated all throughout the day.  I call this moisturizer in a bottle because with makeup on, it is impossible to apply my favorite moisturizer on top of makeup so I use this instead!  With several spritz and patting motion, my skin does not feel as dry or my makeup does not look cracked like before.

I also like to use Face Mist in between makeup routine REGULARLY.  Meaning, I inject this extra step between Face Cleansing + Toning, Toning + moisturizer --- yes, I do a couple of spritz in between to keep my skin hydrated making sure the "environment" won't evaporate the newly applied moisturizer, instead, it evaporates Face Mists instead!

The Body Shop Skin Defence Multi-Protection Face Mist SPF45 PA++ review

Perfect for the crazy heat, The Body Shop recently added more products under their Skin Defence line.  The Multi-Protection Face Mist which contains SPF45 which for me is not to be used alone but as a great "retouch sunblock" for the face!  Especially for girls who have makeup on!

How easy is it to use?  Housed in a spritz bottle, you only need to spritz straight to your face with eyes close and you  know you are protected from the harmful rays of the sun --- again!

The Body Shop Says ---

Feel free with this super-lightweight, multi-protection face mist with SPF45 PA++ and help protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays and pollution particles too. The cloud-like mist forms an invisible protective film without leaving a residue on the skin. Enriched with red algae extract and anti-oxidant vitamin C, the mist helps brighten your skin’s appearance for a more luminous complexion. So easy to use on the go, help to protect your skin without smudging your make-up for any adventure.
