5 ways to use your mineral water spray



Do you have mineral or thermal water sprays that you never gonna use up? Because you don't know how to use it or sometimes you just forget about it I guess? Natural water spray seems unnecessary but if you happened to have it at home here are ways to make use of it:

1. dilute your foundation that is too thick for the season
2. spray on every 3 mins with your mask on to speed up penetration of the essence
3. spray on after deep pore cleansing regimen (i.e. scrub or blackhead removal) to close the opened pores
4. spray lightly on your hair in the morning for natural styling
5. calm your face after skin peeling or acid masks before putting

I rather not spray directly on face during the day but pick rose water that actually adds and retains skin moisture (you can't either carry on the flight i believe). Enjoy!

Do you really need facial toner?

There's been a question about whether toner is necessary or good for your skin. Some find it not necessary but it's actually a must-have for dry skin.
I'm sure you are aware of many types of facial toners in the market. There is an old belief that toner is used for wiping off residues that are left behind from washing your face. But toners nowadays do more meaningful job than that. Your face is supposed to be clean already after cleansing so what you need (and I prefer) is a functional toner that provides immediate moisture and closes the pores, knowing that pores are open after cleansing.
Toner is necessary to me, it preps my skin and channels the serums or lotion (whatever we put on our face) deeply to my skin.
Rosewater in spray can be a good option for its natural moisturising benefits, and best of all no cotton pads are needed so your toner won't be wasted and you don't stretch your skin too much. Spray at least 5 sprays all over the face for a complete coverage and penetration. And make sure you start your regimen right after it. You will see the difference - your serum and cream are absorbed and work better. Happy toning!
