Face mists can easily fall into the category of "something you don't know you need until you buy one." After all, is there any difference between these products and simply splashing cold water on your face when skin's red or the weather's hot? (Answer: there is.) You see, face mists obviously rehydrate like plain old water, but also include skin-care bonuses like brightening fruit extracts, a boost of depleted nutrients, or even ingredients to soothe stressed complexions.

Plus, if you splash water on your face, any makeup might smear down your face afterward, but face mists do the opposite and can actually set foundation and other products so they stay on your face.

To help you find the best one for you, we read the reviews and rounded up the face mists other shoppers are loving most so consider this your short list, whether you're stocking a bathroom or a bag. Each one offers a skin-nurturing boost of some kind, and every single one has at least an average four-star rating at Sephora. Check them out ahead.
