For hot and sticky summer days, a hydrating body or facial mist can feel so good. These summery-scented picks will leave your skin moisturized and refreshed.
Of course, body and face mists do more than just cool off your skin and smell good! “Body mists provide a thin layer of hydration to the skin without overburdening the skin to create a greasy feel,” explains dermatologist Dr. Julia Tzu, the Director and Founder of Wall Street Dermatology. She says to be on the lookout for these key ingredients when choosing a mist: antioxidants (which have anti-aging benefits), hyaluronic acid (which helps keep your skin moisturized) and pure and simple water. Other ingredients like aloe vera, jojoba oil and rose water provide additional skin-loving benefits.
Mists are easier to apply over larger surface areas than traditional moisturizers, Dr. Tzu points out — that’s what makes them so great for your beach bag. Just one note: Make sure that you spray in a well ventilated area, Dr. Tzu recommends, and if the product contains sunscreen, avoid spraying it on your face and inhaling the mist.
