11 Best Face Mists That Don’t Feel Like a Waste of Money

It took me a minute to come around to face mists, which—let's be honest—don't seem like they do that much. But then I realized I didn't need a mist to give me perfect skin. I needed it to calm my frazzled nerves, to make me feel revived, to render that 4 p.m. slump just a little more bearable. I've auditioned a whole bunch, but a current favorite is the Mario Badescu version, fortified with aloe, chamomile, and lavender. Smells like a nighttime tea, feels like a liquid dream. —Mattie Kahn, senior culture editor
