7 facial mists that will keep your skin hydrated all summer long 

A spray might seem like a superfluous skincare product to have in your routine, after all, it isn’t as necessary as the trio of cleanser, moisturiser, and sunscreen, and doesn’t drastically change your skin’s conditions like all the fancy serums and ampoules. But, come summer, when the scorching heat and dry weather leave our skin feeling parched, a quick spray of a cooling mist can work wonders, instantly injecting life into dehydrated skin and leaving it glowing. Facial mists ensure your skin’s hydration levels don’t dip throughout the day, especially if you’re out and about, or even working in an air-conditioned environment. 

Below, discover some of our favourites that act as great pick-me-ups for dull and jaded skin.
