9 best face mists 2025, expert tested to hydrate and refresh

Few skincare products are as touch-and-go as a face mist. While the best of them can transform dull, dehydrated skin in seconds, there are also plenty that are about as beneficial as a plant mister.

Whether you’re looking for an extra dose of hydration or something to prep and prime your skin pre-make-up, there are plenty of options out there packed with the same ingredients you would expect from a moisturiser or serum. And, of course, there’s cooling benefits to be had, too – something we’re definitely in need of with temperatures as they are.
