How to use face mists

They don’t need a time-consuming routine, you just spritz on, feel refreshed, and let them do their thing.

What are the benefits of face mists?

You know you’re a winner, right? Out there caring, sharing and standing up for what’s right. Think of a face mist as your own personal cheerleader. When you take a moment out of your busy day to breathe, you might notice your face feels drained of its morning hydration. That’s when your cheerleader needs to come out of your bag. All our face mists contain naturally inspired hydrating ingredients in a handy spray. Pause, close your eyes and spritz on the heavenly, refreshing mist in a moment of well-deserved personal glory. When you open your eyes, you’ll be ready to charge into the rest of the day with your best foot forward.

How do I use face mists?

So, how to get your face mist cheerleader working for you? First up, this no-nonsense product can be used in any which way you fancy. After you’ve cleansed your face you can spray straight on for instant hydration. They spray on evenly and are absorbed super quickly, so no hanging about for that freshy-hydrated dewy look when you’re in a hurry.

Face mists are with you every step of the day, just like a best friend. One of the cleverest things about them is that they can be spritzed on over makeup, and the benefits are two-fold. They can help set makeup in place and increase its lifespan. They’re a bit like that person that everyone loves, because they just crack on, demand no special treatment and get the job done no matter what circumstances they face. You could even give yours a name, we won’t tell.

Using a face mist couldn’t be simpler. Here’s some easy get-to-know-each-other instructions for you and your cheerleader. Always give your face mist a good shake before using it. Don’t forget to shut your eyes and mouth and don’t inhale. As much as we love them – they’re for external use only. Then hold about 15 to 20 cm away from your face and give yourself about five good squirts. Your face will lap up the mist like a thirsty plant, and you’ll enjoy a heavenly sprinkle feeling on your skin. Take care to wipe any excess off your eyes and mouth. If you feel any irritation at all to your eyes, rinse with cool water immediately and discontinue using.
