SUMMER in the city is a wonderful but sometimes sticky experience. Until the day that they introduce air conditioning on the London Underground, facial mists will remain our summer beauty essential.

Packed with skin-loving thermal water, essential oils and pore-tightening citrus extracts, spritzes, sprays and mists are our favourite way to cool down in the office, whilst travelling or before we face the day - plus they hydrate, prevent make-up from caking and create a dewy glow that we like to think gives us a Balmain model radiance.

Soothing and rich in minerals, this thermal water spray is great for those who suffer from redness and sensitivity. 

Vichy Eau Thermale. £7

Tiny enough to carry around in your handbag, this cooling spray is alcohol-free and contains skin-calming cucumber, aloe vera and calendula. 

Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic. £5.50;

This little 50ml canister of Evian's classic formula is the one to take on a plane - you'll be glowing while everyone else is suffering from tight, dry skin. 

Evian Brumisateur Facial Spray. £3.57;

This radiance-giving spritz is packaged in a heavy glass bottle, so we say keep it in the fridge at work for a refreshing midday boost. 

Caudalie Beauty Elixir. £32;

Great for oily skin types, this clarifying mist has a zesty citrus scent and is packed with vitamins E and C, lemon balm and grapefruit seed. 

Jurlique Citrus Purifying Mist. £21.50;
