Is your skin too dry? Too dull? Whatever your skin problem is at the moment, there nothing that a hydrating face mist cannot solve, especially as summer is just around the corner.
Though not as essential to skincare as, say, sunscreens, hydrating face mists keep your face glowing all day. Do not just think of them as something that sprays water on your skin. The water these sprays are composed of can contain various dermatologist-favorite ingredients such as vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. They can be used after cleansing or before applying a toner, serum or moisturizer.
There are lots of face mists for women to choose from, each with varying strengths. These range from those friendly to sensitive skin to those that can be brought anywhere. Without further ado, here are the 12 best hydrating face mists every woman should have:
