Whenever I Need a Pick-Me-Up, I Rely on This Saving Skincare Product
I really love a multitasking beauty product. I'm not the only one, right? Like, a sunscreen that's both protective against UV rays and a makeup primer? Sign me up for this one. And it's also another reason why I'm so obsessed with BB creams because they're great at lightly concealing any blemishes and redness and evening out my skin tone, while also providing some pretty amazing skincare benefits.
That's why I love a body mist, too. You see, I used to think body mists were kind of pointless and would just opt for just spritzing on some perfume, but now I use them for little pick-me-ups throughout the day. Depending on the formula, they can be refreshing, hydrating, soothing, and of course, they can be a signature fragrance. What more can you ask for, really? I especially like to spritz some on when I've been at my computer all day long and need a little bit of a break to stretch.
