16 Face Mists to Stash at Your Desk for a Mid-Day Pick-Me-Up
Whenever seasons change, there’s a need for a skincare routine shake-up, but that’s especially true for fall and winter. The air gets colder and drier, which wreaks total havoc on your skin (think: the not-so-hot combination of feeling dry and looking dull), and that means we should all hop on any chance we get to give it a hydrating boost. Luckily for us, there’s a quick and easy way to keep cold weather skin in check: face mists. Not only is it a great step both before and after applying makeup, but spritzing just a bit mid-day can help freshen up and rejuvenate your complexion.
