What role does a facial mist play in skincare? When and how should a facial mist be used?

A “Mist” is a product delivery method that can be a facial mist or a facial misting/hydrating toner. Facial mists can be used during a skincare routine to prepare the skin for maximum absorption of subsequently applied serums, moisturizers, and oils. They can also be used throughout the day for continual moisture, without disrupting previously applied skincare, sunscreen, and/or makeup.  Mists can also be used to prep the skin for makeup application, to provide an even, glowing complexion. If desired, mists can also be applied to cotton rounds for a different approach to application, which, depending on the ingredients, aids in remove unwanted debris, oil, and dirt.

Can a mist be formulated to meet specific skin needs, or are they all generally for hydration?

In general, they are formulated for hydration, as the purpose of a mist is to stay relatively superficial on the skin’s surface. Ingredients that work at deeper layers of the skin would not work appropriately is formulated as a mist.  Facial misting toners, such as the Soyier Skin Toner Hydratant, offers BOTH hydration and cleansing properties.
