Body mists: What are they?

Body mists are basically body sprays with different properties (moisturising, relaxing, soothing, etc.) which are perfect to keep in your handbag, rucksack, suitcase or beach bag. They are light and their fragrance is not as strong as perfume, whereas because of their format they are ideal to keep with you wherever you go. They are a good way to care for your skin and are very popular in summer because of their extra freshness.

What is body mist?

Body mists are light, mildly scented sprays with not much alcohol, which refresh our skin while keeping it hydrated.

How do we use body mist?

Body mists are applied directly to the skin. We recommend spraying the body mist on your skin immediately after showering.

If you want your body mist to last longer, a good tip is to apply some scented body cream before spraying your body mist on. Body mists help to keep your skin hydrated, and their mild scent leaves a pleasant fragrance and freshness, making them ideal for everyday use.

Differences between mist and perfume

Compared to perfume, body mist is much lighter, gentler and less concentrated. This also means that it has a shorter useful life, and therefore the fragrance remains on your skin for a shorter period of time, but they are also cheaper than perfume.

Whereas perfume has a wide variety of fragrances and strengths, body mist tends to be fresher, with a more summery, citrus fragrance, as it contains more water and no alcohol (perfume nearly always contains alcohol) in its formula, and can be sprayed all over your body as they are suitable for all skin types.

Since body mist does not contain alcohol, it does not irritate the skin nor does it leave stains when exposed to the sun, which perfumes tend to do, and it can be used more frequently. Body mist gives a fresh feel to our skin, which is ideal on hot days and it can be used by people of all ages.

Advantages of using body mist

Some body mists, or at least those that do not contain any alcohol, can also be used on your hair, to get rid of bad smells such as smoke and food, etc.

They have similar properties to body tonics, since their function is to hydrate and refresh our body, which is why they are considered the perfect complements, particularly during the summer months.

Because it is so light and quick drying, body mist is excellent to quickly give a fresh smell to clothing that has been stored for a long time in the wardrobe. Just spray a little body mist on it and hang the garment outside the wardrobe so that it quickly absorbs the fragrance leaving it smelling nice and fresh.

Furthermore, since body mist has a pleasant smell without being overpowering, it can be a good way for children and young people to start using fragrances.

We can also use body mist for a relaxing fragrance when we go to bed. Spray a little over the bed linen and pillows. It is best to choose a sweet, relaxing fragrance for a better sensation of wellbeing.
