"As a beauty writer, my apartment is littered with all kinds of products, from the incredibly useful to the slightly ridiculous to the &amp;#x27;is-this-really-even-necessary?!&amp;#x27;... One of the items that can easily be classified under the former and the latter categories is hydrating mist/water sprays. (My ex-boyfriend couldn&amp;#x27;t understand why I wouldn&amp;#x27;t just pour a gallon of Poland Spring into an old Windex bottle. Le sigh. Clearly boys just don&amp;#x27;t understand these types of things.) Most people use &amp;#x27;water-in-a-can&amp;#x27; sprays to cool off irritated, overheated skin during the sweltering summer, but I&amp;#x27;ve actually found a few other great year-round uses:1) They&amp;#x27;re great for loosening up tight skin. After washing my face, my skin feels super tense and incredibly dry, so I liberally spritz on one of my hydrating mists as a pre-moisturizer to soothe and prep my skin to better absorb my serum.2) They&amp;#x27;re awesome for toning down makeup. I can be a bit heavy-handed when it comes to rouge because my complexion is so deep. Whenever I over-apply my blush, I simply mist my cheeks with a water spray to help the excess color die down a bit quicker.3) They&amp;#x27;re great for quick-washing your hair. My good friend Daisy Curbeon is a feature film hairstylist (she&amp;#x27;s currently working on Men In Black III), and she taught me to always travel with a bottle in my suitcase. If my destination has hard water, my curls will not respond well, so in lieu of actually washing my hair in the shower, I can dampen my mane over the sink with a hydrating mist to refresh and revive my strands, and lather up whenever I return home.There are several available on the market, but these three happen to be my absolute favorites: Avene Thermal Water Spray, $11.50; Evian Mineral Water Spray, $11; Aquafina Premium Skincare Hydrating Facial Spray, $4.Have you added hydrating mist/water spray to your beauty regimen yet?
