You’ve probably seen them on one of those “get ready with me” videos or perhaps your significant other uses one. But if you think facial sprays are frivolous, think again. They’re not just about a cooling spritz on a hot day (though that’s a major perk). A good face mist is part grooming essential, part wellness hack—instantly waking you up in the morning, refreshing you before a night out, or keeping your skin from feeling tight and dry after a long stretch at your desk. They hydrate, soothe and leave your face looking less dull and more alive.

They’re the kind of low-effort upgrade that pays off big. And here’s the kicker: these sprays multitask. They can calm your skin post-shave, work as a toner to give your moisturizer a boost when applied beforehand, or revive your complexion after a long day. Give yourself a quick spritz right before heading out to look instantly better without doing much of anything. We tested a range of options and these are the ones worth adding to your dopp kit, desk drawer or gym bag.
