Our Summer Face Mist is No Match For The Miami Heat
On a scale of one to ten, how hot has it been outside lately? We would definitely give it a ten! Skincare sprays are all the rage right now but are they any good? A facial spray isn’t just water that smells nice; it can actually help your skin if made with the right ingredients. Try a summer face mist to beat the heat, such as our amazing Soothing Green Tea Mist.
Why You Need a Face Mist
A summer face mist is supposed to hydrate your skin by nourishing your pores and adding moisture to your skin’s barrier. The science behind face mists is actually very simple: by working deep into your skin with a process called “vasoconstriction,” your face’s blood vessels will narrow, allowing more blood to flow to your brain, maintain homeostasis, and very importantly, regulate your body’s temperature.
By this, a summer face mist can make you feel normal again when the heat is unbearable. With ingredients that are good for your skin, facial sprays can help your body physically from harmful extreme temperatures, while also adding some much-needed hydration back into your skin. If you have ay red blotches on your face from sweating, the vasoconstriction will relax your blood vessels and make your skin look more even and balanced in tone and texture. A summer face mist, as we said before, isn’t just water. It usually contains some teas and oils, as well as other nourishing ingredients.
However, if you come across a facial spray that is made up of mostly water and doesn’t have anything good for your skin, skip it. We recommend going for a summer face mist made up of mostly green and/or white tea so that your skin can have more antioxidants that will block free radicals from entering the skin and causing cancer within your skin cells. The polyphenols in the tea will help your tissues avoid oxidative stress, a process that destroys perfectly healthy cells and can lead to inflamed skin and even cancer.
A Soothing Green Tea Mist is a perfect example of this. Essential oils are also great for hydration, as well as special ingredients like vitamins, aloe vera, beta-carotene, etc. These ingredients will help keep your skin firm and supple and prevent aging because of their properties as antioxidants. Algae extract is another great ingredients for repairing your cells and preventing your skin from not getting the water it needs from your body, a process called, “transepidermal water loss.”
Our Soothing Green Tea Mist
This summer face mist checks off all the boxes and is a great addition to your skincare routine no matter what time of the year it is in Miami. With its antioxidant-rich green tea base, your skin will feel calm, refreshed, and bright. The Soothing Green Tea Mist also includes witch hazel, which is great for taking off the excess oil from your skin, freeing your pores and helping you feel less greasy. The micronutrient sea salt in our formula also enhances your skin tone and neutralizes any of your skin’s impurities that stick out and are more noticeable.
Finally, humectants and emollients in the Soothing Green Tea Mist helps your skin retain its moisture and hydration, conditioning the skin. We recommend using the Soothing Green Tea Mist, or any other facial spray, on your face, neck, and upper chest after you cleanse your skin or just any time you require a pick-me-up. It’s a perfect on-the-go option for any skin type.
