Editor’s Picks: 16 of the Best Face Mists to Refresh, Hydrate, Calm or Purify Your Skin
Whatever’s going on with your skin at the moment—whether it’s dullness, dryness, sensitivity or a shiny T-zone—there’s bound to be a face mist out there for you.
Contrary to popular opinion, face mists aren’t just water in fancy packaging. They’re more like serums, toners or essences in spray-on form, loaded with skin-friendly ingredients that hydrate, soothe, control oil and more.

Here are the best face mists I’ve found, why I chose them, and what you need to know about each one.
