[Beauty Tip] Is spraying water on your face from time to time good for skin hydration?

Many people believe that spraying water on their face supplies moisture to the skin, but this is a misconception. Since the stratum corneum, which acts as a barrier for the skin, is composed of keratinocytes and lipids (oil), lipophilic substances are absorbed well into the skin, while hydrophilic substances are hardly absorbed at all.

Therefore, spraying water can actually accelerate moisture evaporation from the skin, making it even drier.
