Unlike a lot of other setting sprays, this is a gel! I was looking at the bottle and thinking to myself, "How is THAT going to come out?!" Well, it does, but obviously not in a fine continuous mist, but in more of a spurt. It does seem to "set" everything and make me feel more refreshed, but the only thing I don't like is the initial fragrance. Maybe I have become more sensitive to artificial fragrance since turning more towards green beauty, but I know some of you will love this perfume-like floral scent and others will not. Thankfully, it disappears within seconds of being spritzed on my face.

If you had asked me a year ago if I'd be using (or paying for!) a beauty product to "mist my face" I would have told you that you're crazy. But wow! What a game changer!

When I think of facial mist I think of a well-to-do, middle age woman who carries her teacup dog with her in a designer purse and uses nothing but Creme de la Mer on the regular.

Ladies, if you have some of the same thoughts let me dispel the myths!

Facial mist is a must for anyone like me who has ultra dry, dull skin. It can be applied at any step in your skincare or makeup routine and at anytime during the day or night to quickly refresh & hydrate your skin.

I have three favorites at the moment, and this is one of them. Please see my reviews for my other favorites by Vichy & Evian.

This facial mist is different from the other two I use regularly. It is a bit heavier in texture and therefore perhaps better suited for nighttime use.

This Shiseido product is from their Ibuki line, which is so amazing (see my review for the Shiseido Ibuki Beauty Sleeping Mask). It is so luxe, yet more affordable than other prestigious brands, making it more accessible for the average person.

This facial mist is super hydrating and really seals in the moisture making it an excellent product to apply after serum and moisturizer or even on its own. Somehow it brings life to my dull, tired skin and makes me look so awake when I apply it. All you need is a few mists of the fine spray to look and feel radiant.

Although I find it heavier in texture than other facial sprays I've used, it's still very lightweight and makes my skin feel so refreshed!

This product has a slight, perfumey fragrance that I find pleasant and not too strong. If you don't like fragranced products on your face you may want to skip this one.

This spray bottle has lasted me a long time even though I use it quite often so it's well worth the price, in my opinion. I've found other great options in lesser price points, so while I may choose those ones to use most often, I will still repurchase this one too. I just may reserve it for nighttime use in conjunction with the Ibuki Sleeping Mask. In fact, I already have a new container of each as I have almost run out.

I've used the facial mist in each season and it's just as wonderful on hot, parched summer skin as it is in freezing cold (and drying) winter months.

No matter what your price point, if you have dry and / or dull skin I highly recommend adding a hydrating facial mist to your beauty routine.
