It’s a fact: we don’t moisturize our skin enough. Blame it on the humidity (no one wants that sticky-icky feeling after moisturizing) or just plain laziness (piling on products can be a tedious process), most of us would much rather reach for our foundation than our moisturizer.

Well, it does make sense if you think about it. When we reach for our makeup we immediately see results. Our skin looks smoother and more even, and it can even hide blemishes and imperfections.

But why is it so important to moisturize? Well, we may not see it right away, but when our skin is parched it begins to feel tight and dry. And when left untreated, it can develop into flaky spots and even give skin an apparent dullness. When this happens, the skin’s condition becomes more and more difficult to cover up with makeup. Parts of the skin begin to crack, dry patches look uneven and all of a sudden, fine lines start to appear.

All this can be avoided by adding one easy step to your regimen. And yes, you’ve guessed it: you’ll need to moisturize. Thankfully, I discovered a product that is non-sticky, fuss-free and handy. You’ll be able to moisture at any time of the day, and even be able to freshen up your makeup when its time for a retouch.

Celeteque DermoScience Hydration has a Hydrolized Moisturizing Mist that contains Hydrolized Liquids and NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor). These help restore skin’s moisture and improves its elasticity and softness. It is formulated with water from Fuji that has various minerals and trace elements to rejuvenate skin, making it more supple and refreshed. The best part: it is dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic and fragrance-free, so yes, even the most sensitive skin can use it without any worries.

Applying it doesn’t even feel like your typical moisturizer. You simply mist it on your face and your skin just drinks it up. It’s like a moisturizer on the go without the heavy, sticky feeling. Another plus (which is my favorite part about it) is that you can spray it on your face when you’re feeling hot or sticky. It really helps cool you down and feels so refreshing on your skin. I like to leave it in the refrigerator overnight and use it to cool down on a hot day. Or you can just stick it in your bag and use it whenever you feel like it.

For makeup junkies, this is great news: Celeteque Hydrolized Moisturizing Mist actually prepares your skin for makeup, and allows your foundation and powder to adhere better on your skin. It acts like a makeup base, as it keeps skin nourished and moisturized. At the same time, it allows makeup to stay fresh longer, which means less time for touch-ups.

This is really quite a find, as it has so many skin benefits. Its price isn’t bad too (its only P349) which is why I give this product two-thumbs up!

And here comes our favorite part: I’m giving away Celeteque DermoScience’s Hydration set, which includes the Alcohol-free Toner, Gentle Exfoliating Facial Wash, Facial Moisturizer, Hydrolized Moisturizing Mist, Facial Wash and Makeup Remover Cleansing Facial Wipes.
