Learn how to use Multi-Active Mist for all-day hydration. This guide covers the correct timing, technique, and layering to lock in moisture and boost radiance.

Quick answer

Use Multi-Active Mist after cleansing and before moisturiser to seal in hydration and boost radiance. Spritz with eyes and mouth closed, then gently press into skin.

Why timing matters for mist hydration

Applying a face mist at the wrong point in your routine can leave it evaporating instead of absorbing. The Multi-Active Mist is designed to be used after cleansing and before your serum or moisturiser, when skin is most receptive to hydration. This order helps the mist’s antioxidants and humectants lock in moisture rather than sit on top of heavier products.

A common mistake: spritzing too close or too far

Hold the bottle about 20-30 cm from your face. Spraying too close deposits large droplets that run off; too far and most of the mist lands on air. A fine, even layer is all you need. Two to three pumps cover the face and neck without over-saturating.

Step-by-step guide

Step 1: Cleanse and pat dry: Start with a clean, damp face. Pat dry gently so skin is still slightly moist — this helps the mist absorb more evenly. Avoid applying mist to fully dry skin; a little residual water improves absorption.
Step 2: Spritz evenly from the right distance: Hold the bottle 20-30 cm from your face. Close your eyes and mouth, then spray 2-3 pumps over your face and neck in an X or circular motion. Don’t spray directly into eyes or inhale the mist. Keep your mouth closed until the droplets settle.
Step 3: Press, don’t rub: Gently press the mist into your skin using your palms. Avoid rubbing or wiping — this can disturb the fine layer and reduce absorption. Wait 10-15 seconds before applying your next product so the mist has time to sink in.
Step 4: Follow with serum or moisturiser: While skin is still slightly damp, apply your serum or moisturiser. This seals in the hydration and helps the active ingredients penetrate better. If you’re using an oil-based product, apply it after the mist but before a heavier cream to avoid pilling.
