Feel like your face is always dirty? Suffering from a hot or dry climate? Need some instant refreshment? These organic face sprays can help!
By Sophia Hussain
It’s the season to embrace the magic of organic face mists!
I absolutely adore facial sprays. They’re the perfect antidote for sweltering summers, and are especially welcome when they’re infused with botanical concoctions that are specially designed to promote healthy glowing skin.
This year-round beauty staple is not only perfect for scorching summer days, but is one of my must-haves on long-haul flights too.
What a face spray can do for you
Although they may not be a high priority on your beauty shopping list, I can definitely state as a beauty expert and makeup artist that organic facial mists are a multi-functional beauty must-have. They can be used to:
- hydrate the skin
- soothe irritations
- impart a youthful glow, immediately
- set your makeup to perfection
- boost your mood through their scent
- provide refreshment on hot days
How to use organic facial mists
On the hottest, most humid days, give yourself a treat by storing your spray in the fridge and spritzing liberally for an extra burst of cool.
To use, hold the product away from the face, close your eyes, and spray the facial mist starting from the forehead to the neckline.
Organic face sprays aren’t just for summer, though. The winter months can be very drying, too! I’d suggest spraying your face three times a day:
- Once in the morning when you wake up. Afterwards, moisturize, then apply makeup. Add an extra spray to set your makeup.
- In the afternoon, give yourself a spray to refresh your makeup and revive your mind
- Spritz yourself after cleansing in the evening. Then, apply a serum or face cream before bed.
Whether you love the scent of coconut or roses, need something with astringent qualities or anti-ageing, there’ll be something for you from our list of natural and organic face sprays.
They’re also all vegan friendly, and are perfect for boosting your skin’s beauty routine right now.

6. Jane Iredale D20 Hydration Spray
This is one of the most science based organic face sprays! It features a hydrogen molecule that’s twice the weight of the molecule in ordinary water, which makes D2O 10% heavier – and thus, more hydrating – than regular H2O. It can be used to set minerals after makeup has been applied or hydrate parched skin, especially in dry climates.
In addition, those with oily skin can use this facial spray in lieu of a traditional moisturizer. The skin becomes extremely hydrated, supple and fresh. D2O is also ideal for cosmetic surgery and laser patients, particularly during dry, flaky periods.
Best for: Very dry skin; post-cosmetic procedures
Price: $33
7. Subtle Energies Refresh Body Mist
Refreshing and uplifting, this alcohol-free mist uses the scents of Himalayan cedarwood, Indian Lime and an Asian citrus fruit called Narangi to add a zing to the senses and revive your energies.
Personally, I absolutely adore the invigorating scent of this one! It’s ideal for spraying all over the body before a yoga workout or a meditation. It also acts as a body spray that lightly scents your skin.
Best for: Overall re-energising and revitalising; clearing the mind and refreshing the body
Price: Around $52
8. Herbivore Rose Coconut Water Hydrating Mist
Herbivore Botanicals Hydrating Face Mist Rose Hibiscus was created with pure plant actives and no nasties at all. This is another one of the best smelling organic face sprays! That’s thanks to its refreshing base of coconut water, infused with youth-boosting hibiscus flower petals and moisture-enhancing rose. It tones, hydrates, and softens all skin types. Hibiscus promotes collagen growth, while witch hazel tightens the skin and minimizes inflammation.
Best for: Skin that’s prone to redness
Price: $37
9. Tata Harper Hydrating Floral Essence
This refreshing floral mist acts as a toner with its 21 high-performance ingredients to deliver moisture and create a plumper-looking appearance.

Best for: This is one of the best organic face sprays for dry skin
Price: Around $80

It’s easy for skin to become bogged down by pollution and toxic elements, especially if you work in the city. But AlkaGlam has created one of the best organic face sprays to bring hydration back to skin wherever, whenever.
All you need is filtered water, which you add to the mineral beads. These then release a mix of anti-ageing properties that will both refresh and revive skin. It’s the perfect skincare accessory if you travel often, as its 50ml size will allow you to carry it with you on a flight. It also works to set makeup; just pop it in your handbag and pull it out when your skin needs it.
But the best part? This refillable mineral spray lasts for a whole year, no matter how much you may use it! Just keep adding that filtered water to keep the product ‘alive’!
