What is a Face Mist?

Korean face mists or hydrating face mist spray are water-based liquids dispensed with convenient spray bottles that quickly replenish hydration and moisture levels of your skin. Korean face mist spray Australia are made with a wide variety of ingredients like traditional herbs, plant and fruit extracts, hyaluronic acid or gentle chemical exfoliants to cater to different skin needs such as dryness, oil control, nourishment or brightening and whitening.

Face mists are one of the most versatile K beauty skincare products because of their ability to quickly refresh, energize and hydrate skin to give its much-needed nutrients and protective benefits. Apart from being used as a one-stop solution to restore your skin’s moisture balance, face mist spray can be used for a variety of other purposes such as toning, setting makeup or even making your DIY mask sheets!

While conventional face mist spray comes in solely water-type formulation, some face mists have a bi-phase texture, meaning they have a smooth layer of oil on top of them that will mix when the bottle is shaken. The addition of nut, plant or seed oils can retain hydration levels for longer durations as compared to those that are solely water-based.

Who will benefit from facial mists?

Because of their versatility, facial mists will be greatly beneficial for all skin types in any weather.

How to use face mist spray?

In addition, face mist spray can also be used as a DIY mask, patch or pad simply by spraying a mask sheet or a few cotton pads with a generous amount of face mist, then placing it over your face for 15-20 minutes like a mask sheet or toner pad.
