It’s the season to embrace the magic of mists! I absolutely adore facial mists as water is the perfect natural beauty boost for a sweltering summer, especially when they are infused with botanical concoctions designed to promote healthy glowing skin. This year-round beauty staple not only cools summer hot skin and nourishes dry skin ravaged by winter cold climate, but it works on long-haul flights too.
Facial mists are multi-functional as they can be used to hydrate the skin, soothe irritations, impart a youthful glow, and even set your makeup to perfection. On the hottest, most humid days, store your spray in the fridge and spritz 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.
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 12 natural and organic hydrating mists–and they’re all perfect for boosting your skin’s beauty routine right now.
1. Caudalie Eau de Beaute

Containing the brand’s signature grape extracts, combined with citrus extracts, myrrh, and mint oils, the mist will leave a mild tingling sensation to instantly boost skin’s radiance. Oh, and yep – we know it says Parfum on the label, but we’ve been assured this contains a ‘secret blend’ of essential oils and no nasty chemicals, just so you know.
2. Rosense Eau de Rose
Beautiful fragrant roses are the secret to an ethereal glowing complexion, since rose water is a natural astringent that helps tighten pores to maintain youthful supple skin.
