9 Best Hydrating Face Mists For A Cool Summer Skin Refresh

There’s a good reason you see the Mario Badescu Spritz Mist and Glow Facial Spray Collection Trio – in Aloe, Cucumber, and Green Tea, Aloe, Herbs, and Rosewater, and Aloe, Chamomile, and Lavender – just about everywhere. People love this sh*t and it’s because it gets the job done, whatever the job is. Whether you need to use it as a makeup setting spray during late nights when you’ve finally gotten hold of a babysitter or if you mist your face periodically while hanging poolside in the summer heat, there is something so refreshing and cooling about each one of these sprays. The original fan-favorite is the Rosewater-infused mist (with over 14,000 ratings!), so if you haven’t hopped on the bandwagon yet, definitely start there. The cucumber and lavender scents will only deepen your affection for these facial sprays. Each one hydrates, refreshes, and infuses the all-natural benefits of botanicals directly into your skin. Spritz your face after a bike ride, while you lounge on the beach, or after applying concealer. Mario Badescu even suggests spraying your face at night, after applying a night serum and cream.

If you’re balling on a regular budget, we hear you and obviously believe that you deserve radiant, glowing skin, too. This refreshing mist prolongs your makeup’s hold, makes it look flawless, and prevents smudges and fine lines from appearing in your foundation. Sure, it does all that, but let’s be honest. You could also just spritz yourself because you’re freakin’ hot or sweaty and this Lily Lolo mist is beyond refreshing! Made with a natural formula of Aloe Vera and panthenol, the Lily Lolo Setting Mist doesn’t just set your makeup, it soothes, hydrates, and helps retain moisture on your body’s most delicate skin. So, if most of your monthly budget goes toward buying 24-packs of juice boxes and diapers, this $18 setting mist from Lily Lolo just makes sense.

Moms who use Glossier don’t just use Glossier. Moms who use Glossier live for Glossier! The Soothing Face Mist made with rosewater, glycerin and Aloe is one such cult favorite that people – especially busy moms – just can’t get enough of. It’s soothing on the skin, hydrating to the skin’s inner layer, and formulated with cruelty-free and vegan ingredients. What’s not to obsess over? Spritz this on your face before applying any serums for the day, and the burst of rosewater will help seal the hydration in prior to serums and moisturizers. You can use it throughout the day, too – if you’re tired, hot, stressed, stuck in traffic on the highway. You name it – the Glossier Soothing Face Mist can soothe just about any situation, from stressed skin to a stressed vibe.

Are you tired of blotches? What about patches of dry, sensitive, or dull skin? The Luminous Dewy Skin Mist by Tatcha can take on all that bullsh*t for you with just a few spritzes. This super silky, fine mist moisturizer is unique in the market, two to three mists of this Tatcha product will cover your whole face, leaving it dewy and glowing. Apply it before makeup for flawless makeup application (yes, that will even translate on camera as you make all those mom-friendly TikToks about cleaning the dishes and picking up binkies) or take it with you on-the-go to freshen up your look throughout the day. It keeps makeup from caking, replenishes natural moisture, and refreshes your skin to the point where people might actually ask if you’re pregnant. You know, because you’ll be glowing – LOL!

Specially formulated for skin that suffers from dryness and dullness, wrinkles, and fine lines, this face mist is formulated with neroli and rose. You can use it as your everyday toner or reach for it mid-day as a much-needed pick-me-up. Sometimes your skin just needs that something extra, you know? Especially when you are hours deep in cleaning the house, stepping on LEGOs, and sweating in the sun as you watch the kids in the yard, screaming, “Look at me! Look at me!” Just a quick spritz of this Clean at Sephora certified facial mist will penetrate deep into your epidermis – that’s your skin, so get your head out of the gutter! – resulting in a firmer, more supple, and more refreshed glow.

For the mom who doesn’t give any f*cks about splurging on behalf of her skincare routine, the Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Floral Essence from Tata Harper is what’s up. Powered by hyaluronic acid that hydrates, plumps, and minimizes the appearance of wrinkles, this facial mist is effective at reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and works best on dry and combination skin. Made from a blend of Australian coastal flowers, it provides a natural source of ferulic acid – an antioxidant that, when combined with other antioxidants, boosts their effectiveness so that they better – and absolutely no toxins, fillers, artificial or synthetic ingredients, or GMOs. Since this one is pretty pricey, you may want to keep it in your master bathroom – you know, on a shelf, away from the reach of children. You could bring it with you to the pool or beach for a cooling spritz on a hot summer day, but eh, with a $ like this, you might want to savor it once in the morning and once at night. Spritz on your face after cleansing and before adding serum and make sure to spray it on your neck, too!

Is your skin stressed out? Wait, let us ask this another way: Are you stressed the f*ck out? If you answered yes, then chances are, your skin is stressed, too.

This blend of Frankincense, red algae, and activated charcoal boosts skin’s natural moisture levels, prevents signs of premature aging, and increases your skin’s resiliency in general. And as parents, we sure as heck need resilient skin! The activated charcoal also detoxifies your skin of any residual toxins that might still be causing your skin grief. The activated charcoal goes deep to purify it of yucky sh*t and the red algae actively fights off environmental pollutants and free radical damage.

Cult favorites have usually been around for years, and always (and we mean always) has die-hard fans that will vouch for the product no matter what new brand comes along. That is exactly the case for Heritage Store’s Rosewater Refreshing Facial Mist, and trust us, it’s with good reason. Leave it on your work from home desk, your vanity mirror, or your night stand for a quick and amazing-smelling refresh. The simple ingredients of Vor-Mag water and Rose oil will respark and reawaken your skin, giving it an instant glow, and you, an instant mood boost. One Amazon reviewer raved about the product and all we can say is…same. “This rose water has been on my vanity counter for YEARS,” said reviewer Sarah Burt. “Dry skin? Use this. Make-Up refresher?

Beia’s Daily Hydrating & Setting Mist is slowly making it’s mark in the beauty world, and for good reason. The mist not only hydrates skin and sets your make-up, but it’s done with clean ingredients too! It’s  vegan, cruelty-free, and contains no harmful ingredients such as parabens. After use, you’re skin will have a healthy glow with the help of aloe vera, green tea, and hyaluronic acid. Beia’s Daily Hydrating & Setting Mist already has a perfect five-star rating on Amazon. One reviewer said, “This is one of my new favorite products! I have oily, acne-prone skin so I use prescription-strength retinol. However, from the retinol, my skin can get really dry and flakey sometimes as well. Ever since I started spraying this on at night, my skin has been much more hydrated and healthy-looking with no flaking. I have also not broken out from this product which is rare because I tend to break out a lot when I try new products. The bottle looks amazing on my nightstand as well which is a plus! If you’re on the fence about ordering this, DO IT!”
