Facial Mists are a staple in my skincare routine : Why, What and How do I use them?

February 23, 2018 Paris B 34 Comments

Often, when I show you my skincare routine either here on the blog or on Instagram, one item tends to catch the attention of most. The facial mist. The most common question I get is “What does it do? Is it even necessary?”

I thought it would be a good time to address this.

I’ll share my thoughts about why I use facial mists or facial sprays, and how I use them, and you can tell me then if it’s something you use, or if it’s just a waste of time for you 🙂 No right or wrong rules here, people! I’ll also quickly run down the ones I have here and share some thoughts on why I like them (or don’t). I have a few others that I’ve used, but no longer have the bottles. If I can remember what they are, I’ll include them in the list 🙂 So, hang on tight, here we go!

Introducing : Caliata – the online store that brings cult beauty brands to Malaysia

When people speak to me and ask about the products I use in my skincare routine, and I oblige with a list, I am often answered with a quizzical look. Brands like Oskia, Omorovicza and Emma Hardie rarely feature in everyday conversation. I may get a flicker of recognition when I mention REN Skincare, but often it is also followed by “Oh you really like REN don’t you?” LOL Good girl, you read my blog!

Ah, the perils and pitfalls of enjoying beauty brands that are often termed as “cult” and hard to access. This is more so here in Malaysia, where most of these brands (aside from REN) aren’t easily available locally. When asked, I always share where I buy mine – online, from overseas. And I’m then told “Oh, but I don’t know if my package will get lost, and I have a customs horror story to share” and most people leave it at that.

So, when Caliata.com, a new beauty online store based in Malaysia met with me and talked me through their approach and the brands they carry, I liked what I saw. Here was a chance for beauty buffs in Malaysia to get their hands on some cult beauty brands and products, quickly and conveniently. (And they’ve even kindly shared a discount code with all of you! 🙂 )

That cult Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm had me wondering if it was truly that amazing

I haven’t talked about cleansing balms for a while, have I? The reason is because I’d been working very hard to finish what I had opened, so I could justify a) buying a new one and b) opening a new tub from my stash. It’s a never ending cycle, this!

But I eventually did finish up my open cleansers and gleefully dug right into this tub that I’d had for a while and had been itching to use.

This is the Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm and comes highly raved online, so naturally, you know how it is. I fell for it, hook, line and sinker! 😀

Emma Hardie is a brand from the UK and is a range of natural skincare products developed by Emma, who is an aesthetician. I haven’t tried any of the other products in the Amazing Face range, mostly because it’s a brand we don’t get locally, and it’s a wee bit pricey for me to make a mistake with (or to get addicted to) But never say never! I’m open to trying more, if you have a rec or two 🙂

But about this balm – did I like it and why does it come so highly raved?
