With July 4^th approaching, I am sure you will be spending plenty of time outside this weekend.  And as the temperature begins to rise, you might be looking for a quick way to cool down and refresh.  Hydration is key to keep your skin looking its best and feeling refreshed, but I am not talking about just drinking a glass of water (or six, or seven glasses like you should be drinking daily).  I am talking about fine mist sprays.  I know what you are probably thinking…fine mist sprays are just water in an aerosol can, but fine mist sprays are a wonderful way to hydrate your skin.  Think of them as the adult version of running thru a sprinkler as a child.  To properly use a facial mist and prevent your skin from drying out, hold the can six-inches away from your face and spray.  Let the mist sit for one-minute on your skin and then blot off excess mist with a tissue or rag (blotting is key).  You can also apply your fine mist spray underneath your daily moisturizer, which allows moisture to stay locked in under the skin.  Just remember that not all fine mist sprays are created equal.  Some contain antioxidants and healing properties, others contain essential oils.  Some facial sprays are better for the winter months, others may be better for the Summer months.  They even contain different water types (distilled water versus thermal water).  Just exercise caution with how many times you apply your facial mist daily.  Just like licking your lips, applying a fine mist too many times a day can leave your skin dry and irritated.  Also, if buying an aerosol based facial spray it may contain alcohol or a VOC compound which can also dry out your skin.
