Everything we know is a lie.
Once upon a time, at a previous magazine where I was surrounded by beauty editors, we would engage in hourly face-misting breaks, during which one editor would spritz her face with a mist and promptly trigger a reaction of editors misting their faces in a row, like a chain of vain, skin-obsessed sneezes.But despite the fact that my incredibly dry skin was constantly getting covered in a layer of water, my skin never felt drier and more irritated.
So when you, say, spritz a water-based mist over your face and that water then evaporates, it takes with it some of the water on the surface of your skin, “which can actually lead to dryness,” says dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD, director of cosmetic and clinical research at Mount Sinai Hospital . It’s kind of like how your body feels insanely dry and tight if you forget to moisturize after showering .“Studies have shown that moisturizing immediately after washing gives your skin better hydration than if you delay moisturizing or don’t moisturize at all,” says Zeichner. The reason? Your moisturizer locks in all of those sticky water molecules, trapping them in your pores so they’re forced to hardcore hydrate and plump your skin.
Of course, that’s not to say that all face mists are the devil’s juice, because some really are formulated to help re-hydrate your skin, and, of course, not every single skin type will turn to dust at the slightest spritz of water.
