Summer comes with its own little rituals and beauty essentials, and if you’re anything like me, you probably have at least one face mist within arm’s reach at all times. There’s just something about that cooling, refreshing spritz that instantly revives your skin (and spirit), whether you’re on a sun-drenched terrace, by the sea, or simply trying to survive a city heatwave.

In France, you’ll find bottles of Evian Brumisateur Facial Spray tucked into fridges everywhere, a true summer staple that delivers that classic no-fuss burst of hydration. But this season, I’ve found myself drawn to a few mists that go beyond the basics and bring something extra to the table. Here are four favorites I’ll be alternating this summer, depending on mood and moment.

ZO Skin Health – Soothing Hydro Mist
This one is my go-to after sun exposure. It’s designed to calm and comfort, and I find it really helps when my skin feels tight or a little irritated after a long day outdoors. Bonus: it layers effortlessly under or over makeup.

MANTLE – The Skin Drink
A refreshing mist with a little extra soul. Packed with CBD, aloe vera, and cucumber, it feels like a small reset hydration button for my face. I love the subtle scent; it's gentle, and perfect for mid-day moments when you need a pause.

N°1 DE CHANEL – Red Camellia Serum-in-Mist
When I want my mist to feel a bit more luxurious, this is what I reach for. It hydrates, soothes, and adds a beautiful, subtle glow. I love using it before dinner out or anytime I want a little touch of radiance. And I would be lying if I didn’t say this is just too chic to carry in your bag, designed to fit perfectly in your hand.

Clinique – Moisture Surge Face Spray
This one is like an instant drink of water for your face. Lightweight yet super-quenching, it’s infused with aloe and glycerin to refresh and plump tired skin. I like keeping it in the fridge for that extra-cool spritz on really hot days. Perfect post-flight, post-sun, or anytime your skin’s begging for moisture.
So whether you’re heading for the coast, staying in the city, or just looking for a fresh boost in the heat, a good face mist is a summer must.
