You know those days when your skin just feels dry, and you could use a pick-me-up in more ways than one? Or maybe you know the kinds of days when your mood is as lackluster as your skin? On days like this, I used to simply splash water on my face or settle for applying some tinted lip balm. Neither of those solutions really helped hydrate my skin or give me the inner and outer glow I was looking for.

Then, one day, while traveling with a friend, I was introduced to facial mist sprays. The first one I ever tried was a lavender-scented spray, and not only did the mist give my skin a natural glow, but the scent made me feel instantly more refreshed after a long day of traveling. My skin felt recharged, and so did my mind. When I returned to New York, I immediately added face mists to my skincare routine and started carrying a bottle in my bag so that I always had access to on-the-spot hydration.

What are facial mists, and how do you use them?

Facial mists are a skincare product that you mist onto your skin and are typically packed with soothing and moisturizing ingredients. Australia's number-one prestige beauty brand, Jurlique, has one of the best face mists out there.

One of the reasons to love Jurlique’s products is the company’s genuine commitment to preserving the integrity of natural resources. Their products come from nature, not a lab. Jurlique harvests every single plant by hand, at their peak, to extract the plant’s natural essence. That plant essence then gets magically bottled up for what the brand calls “an undiluted force of nature” to the skin. If you’re like me, that’s something I could totally use in my life in addition to that on-the-go glow.

Rosewater Balancing Mist

If you’re just getting started with face mists or looking to upgrade your skincare, I’d recommend starting with Jurlique’s cult-favorite — the Rosewater Balancing Mist. This iconic product has the most refreshing scent you won’t find anywhere else. To use it, lightly mist onto your face as a part of your daily skincare routine (in the morning and at night). Alternatively, you can spray the mist into your hands and gently press onto your skin. From there, throw your mist into your bag for an on-hand recharge. Use the mist to refresh your makeup between meetings or for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

What are the advantages of hydrating facial mists?

One of the most significant advantages of moisturizing facial mists is that they are for all skin types. While these refreshing facial mists help with dry skin and hydration, they also do so much more. Jurlique's face mist, in particular, instantly restores skin’s naturally glowing complexion and supports moisture balance. Not only that, but these soothing facial mists protect your skin from external aggressors (like harsh weather and pollutants). Plus, when you use a product like Jurlique’s, the soothing scent acts like a mental reset button, an added benefit.

I'll let you in on a little secret I discovered (but feel free to tell everyone you know). Jurlique’s Lavender Hydrating Mist makes for an amazing pillow mist! Don’t just settle for feeling refreshed all day every day, but feel free to add that same instant relaxation right before bed.

As someone who’s always on the go, I know that life gets busy for all of us, but that’s another benefit of facial mists — they’re so simple to use. You can add them in your daily skincare routine or use them on-the-go for a glow that’s accessible all year long. By keeping your facial mist in your bag or your suitcase, it makes staying consistent with your skincare so much easier, too. Once you see the immediate benefits of using facial mists, you (and your skin) won’t want to go back.

If you’re looking for an easy way to recharge your skin (and your mind), facial mists are the way to go. Shop online for more of Jurlique’s incredible products and browse their natural and effective skincare.
