In addition to investing in the right body mist

Sharing a pro tip, our contributor Dr. Anna Chacon, says, “If you want your body mist to last longer, it's recommended to spray it on your pulse points. These are areas where your blood vessels are closest to the skin, such as your wrists, behind your ears, at the base of your throat, and even behind your knees. The warmth from these areas helps to intensify the fragrance and make it last longer.”
