If there’s one piece of advice I have for you, in all of my years of beauty writing, it’s this: incorporate a face mist into your skincare routine.
Ever since I started misting between every step in my routine, my skin has completely transformed. It’s my skincare routine’s hidden gem—and I want it to be yours, too!
Back in March, I interviewed Mikaela MacLean, and she was the one to tell me this little beauty secret.
MacLean is a master aesthetian. What does that mean? While both aesthetians and estheticians are very similar, aesthetians focus on medical-grade skincare services while estheticians provide cosmetic and maintenance skincare services like facials and waxing.
While I learned so much about beauty and what would work best for me in my routine, the one thing I really took to heart was misting. She recommended that I mist my face thouroghly after cleansing and before every product.
What it does is prep the skin to fully absorb the next step in your routine. We know that damp skin can maximize the effectiveness of some skincare products—this is just the next logical step to that.
Misting leaves the skin damp enough for that and adds additional hydrating or toning ingredients to take your routine to the next level.
