1. Soveral
They say: The heavenly scents of orange blossom and full red roses make this hydrating and balancing mist a true pleasure to use. A skin quencher that is packed with nourishing extracts of aloe vera and floral waters. Ideal to prepare the skin for face oil and moisturiser or to revive and hydrate the skin throughout the day.
We say: The delicately scented Floral Rain calms and refreshes hot skin with an efficient nozzle that creates a light mist for even coverage and leaves no residue. The price tag, albeit hefty, is justified by the 100 per cent organic, all-natural ingredients list so you can spray it on safely before going to bed. A little goes a long way and the big bottle (£45 for 250ml) will last you months. Spray over or under make-up for a dewy look.

They say: Created with a blend of fragrant herbal extracts and rosewater, this mist lightly refreshes skin while boosting hydration and relieving dehydrated, tight complexions. Spray it over your moisturiser for a hydration boost or use it to set make-up. It can also be used on dry hair as a light moisturising mist.
We say: This mist adds enough hydration to the skin to replace a heavy moisturising cream in clammy summer weather. The subtle rosewater scent is rejuvenating rather than overpowering and the formula with natural ingredients is gentle and calming — a safe option for those with easily irritated skin.

3. Lavett & Chin
They say: Formulated with the perfect balance of seven nourishing ingredients — including organic Bulgarian rosewater, honey and natural preservative aspen bark extract — Lavett & Chin’s facial mist is scented with refreshing coconut. This light and easily absorbed water locks in moisture with every spritz and boasts antioxidant properties.

We say: Though pricey, the exotic coconut scent of this mist provides a holiday-evoking spritz that is worth every penny. The vegan-friendly formula absorbs quickly into skin, which is helpful for those with oily complexions, and it makes a good handbag or desk companion for pick-me-up sprays throughout the day.

4. Neal’s Yard Remedies
They say: Calms and rehydrates all skin types. A gentle facial mist to calm, refresh and rehydrate the skin. Infused with antioxidant white tea, calming organic aloe vera, aromatherapeutic organic essential oils and soothing Bach Flower Remedies.
We say: Like most Neal’s Yard products, this spray has an aromatic, natural scent thanks to its mix of essential oils, which feels instantly rejuvenating on the skin as well as mentally uplifting. The fragrance lingers, so it doubles up as a gentle perfume when sprayed on wrists. It comes in a small, handbag-friendly bottle, perfect for a quick fix post-commute.

5. Caudalie
They say: Inspired by Queen Isabelle of Hungary’s elixir of youth, this powerful plant based anti-dull complexion treatment smoothes away fine lines, tightens pores and gives the complexion an instant boost of radiance. A Caudalie cult product favoured by make-up artists, beauty addicts and celebrities, the elixir also works wonderfully to help set make-up.
We say: A multitasking facial mist that gives you real hydrating value. Though not the best option for those with sensitive skin, the spray’s strong perfume is a nice wake-up call in the morning and, thanks to the part-serum, part-toner formula, leaves skin feeling noticeably smoother. Spritz on after applying make-up to set foundation and blush.
