What are the advantages of using spray-type lotion?
Many people may have the impression that mist lotion simply comes out as a spray and that it is hard to tell the difference between it and ordinary lotion…. For such people, we will now introduce the advantages of using spray-type lotion.
Advantage 1: “Spray-type lotion is easy to blend into the skin because of its fine mist-like particles.
Compared to hand lotion, spray lotion, which comes out in a mist, is said to have finer particles and penetrate the skin more quickly. Of course, there are differences depending on the product, but even those who feel that ordinary lotion does not blend well with their skin will find it easy to feel the difference. The good skin familiarity will also help shorten the time required for skincare.
Advantage 2: “It’s also nice that you don’t need a cotton ball! It’s good that it’s so easy to just spray it on when you’re in a hurry.”
While most skin care products require the use of a hand or a cotton pad, spray lotion eliminates the need to do so. All you have to do is spray a few times on your face and let it soak into your skin, so it takes less time and you don’t have to worry about getting your face soaked with too much. Another advantage of the spray type is that you can immediately proceed to the next step, such as a serum or milky lotion.
Advantage 3: “Also good for makeup men! Convenient for reducing the powdery look of foundation and for applying makeup.
The number of “make-up men” is increasing at an accelerating rate among the Corona disaster victims. Rather than using elaborate makeup like women, many of them use simple base makeup such as BB cream and foundation to make their skin look healthy. Spray-type lotion is also useful for men to improve the quality of their makeup. By lightly spraying it on after completing the base makeup, the powdery or “made-up” look can be reduced and a more natural impression can be achieved. Also, if your makeup gets saggy during the day due to sebum or perspiration, just spray a mist of lotion, lightly press it down with a tissue, and lightly cover it with concealer to restore it to its original state. This is a technique that those who put a lot of effort into men’s makeup should definitely keep in mind.
Mist lotion is also perfect for quickly taking care of dryness caused by living with a mask!
No matter how much effort you put into skincare, the moisture in your skin will gradually evaporate. In addition, now that masks have become indispensable in our daily lives, the problem of dry skin has become even more serious. Spray-type lotion is recommended as a support product to prevent this problem. Most products are portable, and since there is no need to take it out of your hand, you can take care of dry skin immediately when you are out and about. It is also easy to use in areas of concern, so if you are concerned about dry skin, we encourage you to take advantage of mist lotion.

3 points to consider when choosing a spray lotion!
Mist lotions are available from all manufacturers, so it can be difficult to know which one to choose. Therefore, we will now introduce how to choose from three perspectives.
How to choose a spray-type lotion (1) “Focus on the fineness of the mist! The key is whether it is a bottle pump type or a gas type.”
Mist lotion generally has fine particles, but the size of the particles varies from product to product, so it is a good idea to choose according to the intended use. For example, if moisturizing power is important, choose a mist lotion with large particles. For example, if moisturizing power is important, a mist lotion with large particles is suitable, while a mist lotion with fine particles is suitable if you are using it for quick skincare or for fixing makeup. There are various ways to tell the difference, but the quickest way is to check whether it is a “bottle pump type” or a “gas type. The gas type is mainly suitable for making a fine mist, so it is recommended to check the product description and the type of container.
How to Choose a Spray-Type Lotion (2) “If you want to get rid of dry skin, be sure to check whether or not it contains alcohol.
The appeal of mist lotion is that it is easy to moisturize the skin anywhere, but depending on the ingredients, it can also cause dryness. The best example is alcohol. Ethanol, which is known for its sterilizing and firming effects, is a common ingredient in skin care products, but it is not suitable for people with dry or sensitive skin, as it easily evaporates and even removes moisture from the skin. In some cases, it may cause skin irritation such as redness and acne, so be careful. If you buy it by mistake, you can use it as a body spray for cooling down.
How to choose a spray lotion (3) “Size is also important if you want to carry it with you.
If you want to take advantage of the “quick use anywhere” feature of mist lotion, it is recommended to choose a size that is easy to carry. The main sizes available on the market can be roughly divided into three categories: 50~80g, 100~150g, and 250~500g. It will also fit in your bag.
You can also refill your favorite lotion with a spray bottle.
If you cannot find a mist lotion that you like, you can refill your regular lotion with a spray bottle. The bottles are available at 100-yen stores and online retailers, so they should be easy to find. However, since it is basically a bottle pump type, you cannot expect a fine mist like the gas type. Also, be aware that lotion with a thick texture may not be misted well.
How to use spray lotion effectively?
The usage is the same as for other lotions, but the distance from the face to spray the lotion is important to ensure that the misted lotion is evenly distributed over the entire face. To ensure even application, spray 2 to 3 times from a distance of 25 to 30 cm away from the face. It is also important to blend the product into the skin with the palm of the hand after spraying. This is because hand pressing prevents uneven application and increases penetration and moisturizing power. It is not advisable to spray too much to moisturize, as it may cause stickiness and make it difficult to move on to the next step, so just enough to moisten the skin is sufficient.
