There was a time where many people assumed that hydrating mists were a passing fad, a gimmick even. Nowadays it’s almost impossible to find a makeup artist that doesn’t swear by at least one. A protective, moisturising spritz packed with the power of glow and small enough to fit in your handbag this summer, it seems to be too good to be true – it is not. What better way to take on the heatwave and keep your skin hydrated and cool.
Here’s your guide to the very best hydrating mist for you:
Most Moisturising
First on the list we have most moisturising, obviously all hydrating mists can be considered moisturising, but Pixi’s Hydrating Miky Mist comes packed with Hyaluronic acid, Black oat extract and B vitamin complex that’ll keep your skin looking particularly supple and fresh all day and night. Spray it on before makeup for an excellent base or during the day to keep the heat at bay.

Best anti-ageing
Most people love the sun, but not everyone understands how damaging the sun can be to your skin in the long run, we think you should be able to enjoy the best of both worlds. Partnered with a good sunscreen, consider using DHC’s Super Collagen Mist which brings balance back to your skin and minimises uneven areas. It comes with a collagen derived peptide, a sugar molecule found in desert plants that helps them survive without water, and a replenishing glycerine. This spray is great for both young and mature skin.

Best budget
The Mario Badescu facial spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater has been the cult favourite hydrating spray for quite some time now. The best part about it is that it’s easily affordable, which will make up for the fact you use it so much given its moisturising and rejuvenating effects. Not only that, but it smells completely divine and fits easily into a large purse or handbag.
Best overall
Finally, the crème de la crème, the Rose Hibiscus Face mist by Herbivore. This light hydrating mist promises to refresh and hydrate, contains no synthetic filers, is vegan and cruelty free, and is enriched with soothing botanical extracts that’ll make your skin smell as nice as it looks. Look forward to brighter, healthier looking skin year-round as a combination of amino acids, lauric acid and citric acid remove dread skin cells to reveal a brighter complexion.
