why you never wanna miss the myst

Hey, my beautiful babes,

As I was spritzing myself down during my daily skin ritual this morning, I remembered just how much this essential step is still widely misunderstood and completely “myst” out on!

While face sprays are gaining some popularity in the beauty industry, I truly believe they are vastly overlooked and underrated in the world of skin care.

So many people think we’re just spraying good-smelling water on our faces.
Or that we’re just doing it because it feels good.

And yes… it DOES feel delightful!
But I formulated Optimyst Mineralizing Spray to do SO MUCH MORE for us!

This mineralizing, protein-rich potion is packed full of pH balancing, protecting and super thirst-quenching ingredients, and really is a multifaceted miracle worker!!

I’ve been mysting myself, and my clients, for the past 5 years; it’s been a mega game-changer for our skin health.

Now, I’m on a mission to spread the good juicy awareness and encourage all the faces to experience the magic!

8 WAYS TO MYST –


1. myst immediately after cleansing

liberally dampening the face, neck and chest post drying off doesn’t just introduce the benefits of the Optimyst ingredients — it’s also the step that invites all of our fancy oils, serums and creams into the tissue.

we get a better spread PLUS increased absorption while actually using less!


2. wipe down with a cotton round

ditch traditional toners, micellar waters, and makeup removers; dampen a cotton round with Optimyst and wipe down after cleansing to remove any excess makeup, dirt and debris for a squeaky clean, pH balanced canvas that’s perfectly prepped for product to follow.


3. set and refresh makeup

doubling as a healthy makeup setting spray, Optimyst creates that radiant, dewy finish of living, breathing skin we all love.

spray throughout the day, as often as desired, on makeup that has become dry or cakey for an instant glow up! it’s the easiest anytime, anywhere refresh!


4. rehab from recycled cabin air

traveling sucks our skin dry and throws us out of balance. instantly rehydrate thirsty tissue, tame inflammation, reset from your journey, and get ready to fully soak up your new environment by spritzing immediately after plane rides.


5. cool down spicy skin

whether it be warmer summer weather, an epic outdoor adventure, or a hot yoga class, sometimes our skin begs for a major cool down. beat the heat, reduce redness, and soothe inflammation with Optimyst.

pro tip: keep your bottle in the refrigerator for extra chill mode.


6. kickstart healing after intensive treatments

faster healing leads to better results + a more enjoyable self care journey – support skin with essential nutrients and soothing ingredients after intensive facial treatments such as chemical peels, laser facials and microneedling.

spritz skin anytime — especially when feeling tight, dry, dehydrated, flaky, red, irritated, inflamed, itchy, or sensitive.


7. maximize masking

super-boost your self care spa days by liberally spritzing clean skin before applying a face mask at home. this drives Optimyst’s juicy ingredients deep into the tissue, allowing extra time to soak up all the benefits while marinating in your mask.


8. spray them bad vibez away

she’s named OPTIMYST for a reason, my babes.

we have the opportunity, in any given moment, to change our state, the way we feel, and how we show up in the world.

sometimes we’re superhuman.
and sometimes … we’re super human.
we can get lost in the sauce or stuck in a funk.

when I find myself here, I'll close my eyes, myst myself, take few deep breaths, maybe hone in on an empowering affirmation or mantra, and come back to my center.

I really do consider it spritzing away any of the gunk to refresh and reset my soul.

this is a step you do not want to miss!
