What is a Face Mist?

A face mist is a hydrating, refreshing product that can be used any time of the day. It’s quick and easy to spritz some on your face to give it a little boost. Just like a toner, a face mist can be used on its own as a skin care product, or it can be used to boost the effects of other products in your skin care routine. Different brands will use the term “face mist” in different ways. But in general, face mists are lighter than toners, and they’re used primarily to hydrate and refresh skin.

Some mists might also have some skin brightening or anti-aging ingredients to give you a boost. Face mists can be used as a toner, setting spray, moisturizer, or even a light makeup setting spray. They’re very versatile, and they’re a great addition to any skincare routine.
