Face mists have long been a quick way to refresh the skin throughout the day. But as beauty routines become increasingly multifunctional, newer formulas are offering more than just a burst of hydration.
From soothing and brightening to supporting the skin barrier, these mists are becoming a more versatile part of the beauty routine.
Resilience on-the-go
Going between air-conditioned spaces and blazing environments can significantly dry out the skin.
To counter that, the Aestura Atobarrier365 Cream Mist is the ideal option to have on your person for when that problem arises.
Formulated with an intensely hydrating amount of ceramides, the ultra-fine mist delivers a light yet effective veil of nourishment to the skin without overwhelming the senses. It’s also suitable for those with dry and sensitive skin, even those struggling with eczema.
Upon application, the mist forms a moisture film that seals in the moisture, binding comforting ingredients into the skin while protecting the skin against external aggressors.

Bubbles of brightness

Following the success of its first serum mist, Anua heads down the brightening route with the launch of the new Vita C Glutathione Brightening Capsule Mist. Adopting its in-house innovation, the South Korean brand takes its dual-brightening system and transposes it into a three-second skincare step that imbues the skin with hydration and glow.
In addition to that, the mist is also enriched with ingredients that eradicate dark spots, refine texture, plump up the skin and dose the skin with instantaneous and long-lasting hydration.
Instant calm

Inspired by the realm of dermatology, Dr Althea leans on essentials to gently return the skin to a state of balance.
Its minimalist, clean formulations are ideal for all skin types, but it’s especially designed for intolerant skin.
Combining the calming powers of panthenol and madecassoside, the 345 Relief Cream Mist is a refreshing burst of featherlight hydration that simultaneously soothes the skin.
Created with 60% rice bran water, the bi-phase emulsion is a lighter formula than most, great for the Malaysian weather.
Add it to your skincare routine, use it as makeup prep, or carry it for on-the-go moisture boosts; the cream mist plumps up the skin with multi-layer hydration without leaving a sticky feel.
Fountain of youth

As a champion of plant-powered remedies, Haruharu Wonder harnesses the best of the natural wonders around us and reinforces it through innovation.
The Black Rice Probiotics 2% NAD+ Serum Mist features ingredients that can help fortify the skin barrier, aid cellular repair and provide microbiome support – all without sending the skin into hyper-reactivity.
In a single spritz, the emulsion delivers all that goodness through a silky, fast-absorbing layer that floods the skin with instant comfort, making this mist the perfect go-to for those who get flare-ups throughout the day.

Dimensional lift

One of the most ambitious serum mists on the market, the new Bioheal Probioderm 3D Lifting Cream Mist seeks to enhance skin firmness, elasticity and volume.
Through a combination of key features and patented technology, the mist acts as a spray-on anti-ageing skincare solution. With a 17-peptide complex, the formulation is capable of addressing structural ageing, a factor that not many other mists are tuned in to.
It’s also imbued with ferments that can rapidly repair damaged skin barriers, so the skin can retain its natural plumpness, inducing a lifting effect.
