11 Refreshing Face Mists for Every Sticky Summer Situation
What’s the quickest, easiest way to get that dewy, post-workout flush everyone’s forever chasing? A quick session at your favorite workout spot definitely gets the job done — and in the summertime, so does stepping outside to the sweltering, 90-degree heat. However, the real MVP when it comes to truly dew-ifying your skin? Facial mists. Not only do they deliver an instant dose of hydration to your skin, but they boast major complexion benefits, too. We're not saying that you shouldn't go to that workout class you booked or stay holed-up in your room with AC, but if you want to get the dew without doing the work, these products have got you covered.
Besides, you don’t have to physically touch your face (in other words send dirt, bacteria, and makeup straight into your pores) to reap these benefits. Keep one on hand at all times this summer to stay cool — and max out your skin’s glow potential. It's glow up season!!
For a designated “me” day:
You know what they say, 'Treat yo'self' and this mist will do just that. Our editorial assistant swears by it (and all the other Tatcha products!). Just a few spritzes and you'll already feel like you're in a spa thanks to its lovely smell.
For right after your spinning class:
Granted you're probably pretty dewey after sweating off all of your weekly woes at spinning class. After you pat down your face, you'll want to refresh yourself before hitting the showers, and Avene's Eau Thermale spray will do just that with their formula that's perfect for sensitive skin.
For when you're halfway through walking your dog:
Walking outside during summer is great until you feel like you're about to die. That's why, whenever you take a quick stroll, even when walking your dog, you need to carry Kiehl's mist with you so you don't let the sun get the best of you. Its small and cute packaging is ideal for all your weekend totes, so you don't have an excuse to ever leave it behind.
For when you forgot to actually drink your matcha:
We love Urban Outfitters for all our summer fits, but it should be on your radar for beauty, too. Cue their ohii beauty collection -- especially their Skin Quench Spray Serum with energizing matcha. Your skin will absorb this up and you'll be looking great whether or not you actually drank your daily matcha.
For a trip to the city — or a day spent in the suburbs:
Whether you realize it or not, pollution poses a ton of real threats to your skin’s overall health. Not only does it make your complexion look duller, but environmental pollutants like exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke can also result in premature aging. But with just a few spritzes of this product, you’re providing your skin with a layer of protection, all while boosting its ability to detox.
For a day spent in the park with friends:
It's watermelon season! So, naturally, if you eat watermelon you have to wear it too? Well, yes. However, not as you would initially think. Keep your watermelon dreams going all through summer by copping this. It is just as good as it looks.
For lounging poolside — or by the sea:
Consider this the multihypenate of your beauty arsenal. A four-in-one product, it primes and hydrates your skin, and sets and refreshes your makeup while extending its wear for up to 12 hours without a touchup.
For when you need an extra pick me up:
There are days and there are days. Whenever you feel like Mercury is perpetually in retrograde and you feel something to liven your spirits and remind you this is only temporary, this Elemis spray has your back. With its hydrating 4-in-1 treatment this product will not only give you that extra pick me up but it will also tone and prime your skin.
For when you want to see what all the hype is about:
This spray is a cult favorite for a reason, so if you feel like you want to see what the hype all about then this summer is your chance. We're sure you'll love how it tightens pores, sets makeup, and provides an instant shot of radiance to your skin.
