Apparently, June 23 is “National Hydration Day.” While the day itself might seem silly on its surface, the fact of the matter is that staying hydrated plays one of the most vital roles in helping your body complete everything it needs to in order to keep you feeling happy and healthy.

That said, even if you’re getting your 6-8 glasses of water per day — our skin often needs an extra boost to ensure we’re not looking parched out here in these streets. Scroll below for the 411 on facial mists that’ll help maintain your skin’s hydration levels throughout the summer.

The Day Drink Energizing Hydration Tonic

Created by The Route, this facial mist is said to “refresh, hydrate, and defend” the skin. Comprised of ingredients including cucumber water, zinc, copper, magnesium, hyaluronic acids and natural botanicals, this product helps protect your skin against free radical aggressors with an additional boost of Vitamin C and other antioxidants.

The brand advises, “Spritz your face, neck and décolleté throughout the day for a boost when midday water loss is heightened. Mist to defend your skin against daily assault from urban free radicals.”

Protecting Facial Mist

This facial mist by Fortify+ is great for the summertime in particular because it contains aloe vera to “moisturize, soothe, and tighten the skin,” in addition to hyaluronic acid “which diminishes signs of aging.”

According to the brand, this product is different from other facial mists on the market because, along with the hydrating benefits it provides, it also “helps fight bacteria and illness-causing germs that adhere to the face – without drying or damaging skin.” Essentially, it’s a great line of defense against gym sweat, “sticky” feeling summer days, and when all that hot subway air comes rushing at you when it’s humid outside.

“Mist in the morning, post-workout, before sleep, on the go, and whenever you need a quick cleanse and refresh.”

Soothing Face Mist

With its rosewater, aloe, and glycerin, Glossier’s Soothing Face Mist is aimed at those with sensitive or “stressed skin.” As a basic rose-based spray, use the refreshing mist to soothe, hydrate, and lock in moisture.

Similar to the other products mentioned in this piece, in addition to adding its own unique hydrating benefits to your routine, this spray can also be used to “seal in hydration when applied immediately before serums and moisturizers.”

On a popular product review site, one user noted, “Great! I loved how much hydration it gave my face. It changed my life and I showed it to everyone. I would definitely recommend it!”

Avène Thermal Spring Water

Last but not least, this face mist is a classic for a reason. With “unique thermal water” from the South of France, Avene’s Thermal Spring Water Spray is comprised of “mineral” and “biological” elements “clinically shown to soothe, soften and calm sensitive skin.” Another great thing is that its “neutral pH reduces sensitivity and restores one’s skin balance.”

Essentially, if water itself got infused with hydration-boosting properties, it’d be this face mist. At only $9 a pop, purchase it here for thirsty skin.
