Face mists

[FashionistaL]

Does anyone use facial mists/ sprays for whatever reason? If so, what product would you recommend? Thanks.

As basic as this sounds I use the Evian Facial Spray. It's just water but that's why I feel like it's so good. My skin feels kinda icky when I start adding more skincare products throughout the day and it does react negatively to it. The other thing is, normally product just sits on top of my face (if I apply anything after sunscreen) but I believe that's because my skin is oily and I'm in a very humid climate.

It depends on how you would like the mist to perform. I personally like the Herbivore Rose Hibiscus Hydrating Mist 4.0 oz/ 120 mL  as more of a prep before moisturizing.

If you want something more moisturizing, the LANEIGE Cream Skin Mist 2.54 oz/ 75 mL is a great mist as well.

Hope this helps!

@FashionistaL I use Byoma Balancing Face Mist at work. It’s mostly to help rehydrate my skin mid-way through my day if it starts to feel dry.

@FashionistaL  Youth To The People Adaptogen Soothe + Hydrate Activated Mist with Peptides 4 oz/ 118 mL  gives me some Hydration and glow.  I'm on my third bottle.

@FashionistaL  What are you hoping a facial mist will do for you skin? That line of thinking should help you decide whether or not you need one in the first place. 🙂 

For reference, I have mostly-dry combo skin that’s quite reactive/inflammation-prone. I use a facial mist between certain steps of my skincare routine, especially right before I apply moisturizer. This gives my moisturizer some hydration to seal in, so I don’t end up sealing in dryness. Throughout the day, I might use a facial mist if my skin feels dry, tight, or irritated, or if I just need to cool off a bit. 

I alternate 3 facial mists, depending on what my skin needs: 

• COSRX Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner - soothes my skin with centella asiatica and allantoin; hydrates with water, sodium hyaluronate, and panthenol (which is also anti-inflammatory). 
  
  
• SkinSmart Antimicrobial Wound Therapy - contains hypochlorus acid, an anti-bacterial/fungal/viral/inflammatory ingredient. I use it to help combat and control acne, soothe irritation, prevent yeast overgrowth (I’m prone to this on my face and neck), and disinfect my skin as needed. I even use it some mornings to clean/treat my eyelids and lash lines when I first wake up. This SkinSmart spray is nearly identical to Tower 28 Beauty SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid 4 oz/ 120 mL  ; it uses a different form of salt, comes in a bigger bottle, and costs considerably less than T28’s spray. I like a few Tower 28 products but, you know, I’m just sayin’. 
  
  
• Timeless HA Matryxl 3000 w/Cucumber Spray - very hydrating, thanks to aloe vera, sodium hyaluronate, the salt form of pantothenic acid, glycerin, and peptides. Those peptides may also have anti-aging properties. There are other varieties of Timeless’s HA Matryxl 3000 spray; the main difference among them is fragrance. I use only the cucumber version because my facial skin’s sensitive to the orange peel extract/oil and various other fragrance ingredients found in the other Timeless sprays.

I would want something to help moisturize especially in colder months and banish blemishes when need be.

@CynthieLu @Thanks for the reminder!

Thanks for the tag and friendly reminder, @CynthieLu ! 

@FashionistaL  Sounds like @greeneyedgirl107‘s recommendation is right up your alley: I used to use Youth To The People Adaptogen Soothe + Hydrate Activated Mist with Peptides 4 oz/ 118 mL  in my winter skin routine and had good results. That mist contains shea butter which is a good moisturizing ingredient. Also contains aloe vera, a great humectant that can also moisturize skin and soothe irritation. If you have redness caused by acne, aloe vera might help calm it down. 

For blemishes though (assuming you mean acne blemishes), you’re better off using a separate acne-fighting product. Could be a rinse-off cleanser or mask, or a leave-on toner/exfoliant. If you already use one of those and want another product to partner with it, then I recommend a hypochlorus acid spray like the two I mentioned in my original comment.

@WinglessOne @That makes sense! Thanks.

@FashionistaL @I use face mists. I love Caudalie Beauty Elixir Prep, Set, Glow Face Mist 3.3 oz/ 100 mL  

Caudalie Grape Water Moisturizing Face Mist 6.7 oz/ 200 mL  

Tatcha Mini Luminous Dewy Skin Mist 2-in-1 Hydrator & Finishing Spray 0.4 oz/ 12 mL  

[FashionistaL]

Thanks! Wonder if any of those would be good for my oily skin?

@FashionistaL @Most of them are for dry/combo skin
