Dealing with redness and irritation from Mauritius' heat and humidity can be frustrating. This ultra-fine mist delivers pure, double-fermented Artemisia (Mugwort) extract from Ganghwa Island to instantly soothe, hydrate, and comfort stressed skin. Its minimalist formula helps reduce sensitivity and rebalance your complexion without any heavy or sticky feel.

If your skin feels sensitive, red, or easily irritated by heat, this mist is your ally. It's a single-ingredient powerhouse designed to provide immediate cooling and calming relief.

• Texture: Fine, watery mist
• Scent: Natural, herbal, and earthy (from Mugwort)
• Finish: Hydrated, refreshed, and calm without residue
• Best for: All skin types, especially sensitive, acne-prone, and oily skin in tropical climates.
• Core Purpose: To soothe inflammation, reduce redness, and provide lightweight hydration.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. THIS PRODUCT (Mist): With eyes closed, hold the bottle 15-20cm away and spritz 2-3 times over your face. Gently pat to absorb.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Follow with your daily sunscreen in the morning or a light moisturiser at night to seal in the hydration.

Mindful Tip: If you already have a hydrating toner, you can use this mist in its place or as a refreshing top-up during the day. No need to stack similar products.

Minimalist Routine (3 Steps):

1. Cleanser: Start with a gentle face wash.
2. THIS PRODUCT (Mist): Spritz onto face and pat in for a calming, hydrating base.
3. Sunscreen: Always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. In Mauritius' climate, this is non-negotiable.

Optional Additions:

• Targeted Serum: If you have specific concerns like dark spots, a Vitamin C serum can be used before this mist.
• Moisturiser: If your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough, you can apply a lightweight, gel-based moisturiser before your SPF.

Minimalist Routine (3 Steps):

1. Double Cleanse: Start with an oil cleanser to dissolve sunscreen and makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser.
2. THIS PRODUCT (Mist): Apply generously to soothe and hydrate the skin after cleansing.
3. Moisturiser: Lock in the moisture with a calming facial cream suitable for your skin type.

Optional Additions:

• Exfoliant (1-3x/week): On nights you exfoliate (with AHA/BHA), use this mist afterward to help calm any potential irritation. Do not use strong exfoliants and strong retinoids on the same night.
• Targeted Serum: Apply any treatment serums (like for acne or anti-aging) before the mist, following the "thinnest to thickest" rule.

As a Toner (AM/PM):

• Amount: 2-3 spritzes.
• Method 1 (Direct): Hold the bottle about 15-20cm from your face, close your eyes, and spray evenly. Gently pat with your fingertips until absorbed.
• Method 2 (Hands): Spray into the palms of your hands and then press gently onto your face and neck. This prevents inhalation.
• Method 3 (Soothing Pack): For extra sensitive areas, saturate a thin cotton pad with the mist and leave it on the irritated spot for 5-10 minutes.

As a Refreshing Mist (Throughout the day):

• Amount: 1-2 spritzes.
• Method: Hold at a distance and lightly mist over your face (even over makeup) to calm, cool, and rehydrate skin during a hot day.

Safety First: Avoid inhaling the mist directly. It's best to spray into your hands and then apply, or ensure you are not breathing in as you spray.

This calming mist is designed for daily use and fits easily into any routine.

• Daily Use: Apply AM and PM after cleansing. It can also be used anytime your skin feels hot, irritated, or tight.
• With Actives: If you use strong actives like retinoids or exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) at night, this mist is an excellent product to use right after to soothe the skin and reduce potential redness or irritation.

Example Week (PM Focus):

• Monday: Cleanse → Artemisia Mist → Retinoid → Moisturiser
• Tuesday: Cleanse → Exfoliating Acid → Artemisia Mist → Moisturiser
• Wednesday: Cleanse → Artemisia Mist → Hydrating Serum → Moisturiser (Soothing Night)

Rule of Thumb: One strong active per night. This mist can be used every night to support your skin's barrier.

• Immediately: Skin feels cooled, refreshed, and instantly hydrated. Tightness after cleansing is relieved. A reduction in immediate, heat-induced redness may be visible. (Brand test)
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, skin's baseline redness and sensitivity may appear reduced. Skin feels more balanced and less prone to irritation from environmental stressors. (Ingredient rationale)
• 4-8+ Weeks: Skin barrier function is better supported, leading to improved resilience. Skin appears calmer, clearer, and feels more comfortable overall. (Ingredient rationale)

Why use this instead of a DIY face mist with essential oils?

While DIY mists seem natural, neat essential oils can be highly irritating and can even cause photosensitivity or allergic reactions. This essence uses a professionally extracted, double-fermented Artemisia extract at a concentration proven to be soothing and safe for sensitive skin, without the risks of improperly diluted essential oils.

This Artemisia Mist is a team player and layers well with almost all other skincare ingredients.

• Works Well With:
  • Hydrators: Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Beta-Glucan. Use this mist before to enhance absorption.
  • Actives: Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal), Vitamin C, Niacinamide, AHAs, BHAs. Use this mist after to calm potential irritation.
  • Barrier Support: Ceramides, Panthenol. Use together to strengthen and soothe the skin.
• Use Carefully With: No significant conflicts are known. Due to its soothing nature, it's an excellent buffer for stronger ingredients.

• Oily & Acne-Prone: Excellent. Provides lightweight, non-greasy hydration while calming breakouts and redness.
• Dry & Dehydrated: Very good as a hydrating toner step to layer under richer serums and creams.
• Combination: Perfect for balancing the skin, hydrating dry patches without making the T-zone oily.
• Sensitive: Ideal. The single-extract, minimalist formula is designed specifically to reduce irritation and soothe reactive skin.
• Mature: Good for providing antioxidant benefits and soothing hydration, though it does not target wrinkles directly.

• Redness and flushing
• Skin sensitivity and irritation
• Dehydrated oily or combination skin
• Inflammation from acne or "maskne"
• Skin stressed by heat, sun, or pollution

Who Should Use With Caution:

• Individuals with known allergies to Mugwort, ragweed, or other plants in the same family.
• Those with extremely sensitive skin should always introduce new products carefully.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount of the mist to a clean, discreet area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner arm.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
3. If no reaction occurs, repeat the test for a second day to ensure compatibility.
4. If irritation develops, discontinue use and wash the area thoroughly.

• Scent: A natural, earthy, herbal aroma from the Artemisia extract. Fades quickly after application.
• pH: Not officially published by the brand, but similar essence toners typically have a pH between 5.0 and 6.0 to be compatible with the skin's natural acid mantle.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The ingredient list appears to be free of common fungal acne triggers like fatty acids, oils, and esters. Individual responses may vary.

• If the spray feels weak or clogged: The nozzle may have product buildup. Unscrew the top and run the nozzle under warm water to clear it.
• If your skin feels itchy or develops bumps: You may be sensitive to Artemisia extract. Stop use immediately and perform a patch test as described in the safety section to confirm.
• If you don't notice a calming effect: Ensure other products in your routine are not the source of irritation. Simplify your routine to just a gentle cleanser, this mist, and a basic moisturiser for a few days to see if the mist's soothing properties become more apparent.

This essence mist is exceptionally well-suited for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius.

• Humid Summers: Its ultra-lightweight, watery texture provides a burst of hydration and calming relief without adding any greasiness or heaviness. Perfect for soothing heat rash, redness from the sun, or irritation from sweat.
• Drier Winters / AC Environments: Use it as a first hydrating step to prep the skin, allowing your richer serums and moisturisers to absorb more effectively.
• Pro-Tip: Keep the bottle in the refrigerator for an extra cooling and de-puffing effect on hot days—it feels incredible on sun-warmed skin.
