Hi loves! It's Bronwyn from BiiBiiBeauty here today to share some insight on what exactly a face mist is and some quick reasons as to why we all need to start including one in our daily skincare routine. With winter upon most of us in the world, our skin naturally becomes more dry, producing fewer oils and retaining less hydration due to drying and cooler climates. Well my friends, that is where face mist comes into play!

What is a face mist?

There are many different face mist types on the market these days. The first face mist types were that of pure clarified glacial water from the french alps. These face mists were from brands such as Evian, Avene and Laroche Posay. However, these face mists where just that, water and nothing more. They simply were used as a very gentle form of toner to literally cool the skin after cleansing or in the hot summer. Aiding in calming the skin thanks to the natural cooling effect of condensed water. Since then, many brands have expanded to create face mist's that contain gentle, light and effective skincare for all skin types and needs! From simple face mist of just glacial water, to glacial water with rose extract, to toning water with witch hazel and other essential oils, and even skincare based face mist! Best of all, you can use them throughout the day over top of makeup!

Choosing a face mist

So which type of face mist is the right one for you? The answer comes from what skin type you have an what your number one skin concern is. If you have normal skin that feels hot at times, then choose a glacial water mist or a rose water face mist might be your right choice. If you have oily skin, then using a witch hazel toner mist might be your best bet. If you have drier more sensitive skin, then choosing a Korean skincare face mist might be the answer to your skin needs.
