What is the difference between a hydrating spray and a setting spray? Some people confuse hydrating spray and setting spray. Although both are sprays, their effects are very different. Let’s learn more about it.

The difference between hydrating spray and setting spray

The function of hydrating spray is to hydrate, and the function of setting spray is to set makeup. This is the most obvious difference between the two. Hydrating spray is mainly to replenish moisture for the skin. After use, the face will feel moisturized and improve dry skin. It is especially suitable for dry skin or for use in summer to hydrate the skin. The film formed by the setting spray is to protect the makeup from being smudged, so that the makeup can be firmly fixed on the skin, making the makeup more adherent and not smudged.

The role of hydrating spray

1. Balance water and oil: Use a moisturizing spray when your face is extremely oily in the summer. This can improve the condition of your skin being oily on the outside and dry on the inside, while controlling oil secretion while replenishing water.

2. Daily hydration: If you stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time, you can use spray to hydrate your face at any time to improve the discomfort of dryness and dehydration on your face.

3. Setting and touch-up makeup: Using spray before applying makeup or touching up makeup can make the makeup more fitting and natural, and avoid rubbing against mud.

4. Cooling and calming: When the skin is in an excited state and is hot, sweating and oily, using Evian spray can cool and calm the skin and make it stable.

5. Intense hydration: Using spray instead of toner to make a water mask or sandwich mask can provide concentrated and intense hydration for the skin.

The role of makeup setting spray

1. Moisturizing before applying makeup: Setting spray has the function of hydrating and moisturizing. It can be used for basic skin care to make the skin more hydrated and make subsequent makeup more adherent.

2. Use it after applying makeup to set the makeup: After completing the base makeup, apply loose powder and then apply setting spray to make the makeup more natural and fit, without any fake feeling. The powdery texture of setting spray is different from that of loose powder. It sprays out water mist and will quickly form a film on the face when sprayed on it.

3. Spray on makeup tools: Spray it before applying foundation, which will make the makeup easier to spread and make the makeup more moisturized and fit.

4. The usage distance is very important: The instructions for use of general setting sprays will indicate that the nozzle should be about 15 cm away from the face. This is to prevent the spray from ruining your makeup. After all, some nozzles are very powerful and will wash away your makeup!

5. Setting spray is not waterproof spray: Setting spray is not waterproof cosmetics and cannot completely isolate water and sweat, so don’t think that you can go out in wind and rain after spraying setting spray! Don't forget, the main ingredient of makeup setting spray is water.

Do I need to use loose powder after applying setting spray?

After spraying the setting spray, wait for one minute and an oily protective film will form on the skin, which will gradually turn matte. Setting spray can keep the makeup on your face intact throughout the day. If you want to maintain a hydrated and glowing skin, setting spray is more reliable than loose powder. If you want your makeup to be less shiny, you can spray a layer of setting spray after the liquid foundation, and then wait for the spray to be half dry and then cover it with a layer of loose powder, so that you can create a semi-matte makeup effect. Then use a sponge egg to gently press on the face, which will not only make the makeup last longer but also wipe off the excess spray. If the makeup is still dissolved after spraying the setting spray, you can use a sponge egg to dip some of the spray and gently press it on the face to complete the makeup.
