I think Mario Badescu’s facial mists are refreshing and smell amazing however I don’t think it’s as necessary of a step in anyone skin care routine. It’s more so just a nice luxurious bonus step. I bought this to see what the hype was with this facial mist and honestly, it’s just soothing, fragranced water. I do appreciate it when I need to mist my face to take away the powdery look on my skin after applying makeup or when I need a refresher in the middle of the day and can’t just completely rinse my face with water. I think it is calming because of the lavender but other than that, it’s nothing too special.
