What is A Facial Mist?
I don’t want to assume that you know what a facial mist is. If you do, just move on to the next section. A facial mist is fast becoming one of the daily must-have skin care product. It is a combination of water, essential oils, vitamins, aloe vera, and some other skin enhancing ingredients.
Why Do You Need A Facial Mist?
Good question. Mist helps improve dry skin condition by moisturizing it. Some mist, when formulated properly, can enhance the appearance of your makeup while making your face supple. Some mists also help eradicate some aging signs like wrinkles, fine lines, expression lines, and so on.
Why Should You Make Your Face Mist?
Unfortunately, most of the mist on the market today are no better than your tap water. Worst still, some of them contain dangerous ingredients like parabens, artificial colors and fragrances, and other hazardous ingredients that irritate the skin and cause havoc to our health in the long run.
But when you DIY your face mist, you know every single ingredient that goes into it. You can save money. Save time by making it at your leisure. You can even give it out to friends and families knowing that you’re doing them a whole lot of good.
What Type of Skin Are Facial Mists Best For?
All skin types can benefit from using a good facial mist. However, people tailor some mist to suit their skin type. For example, ingredients like witch hazel may be added to some mist to control excess oil production.
Another positive is that facial mists are so easy to use. Plus it calms and hydrates the skin while adding radiance to dull-looking skin.
