If You're Just Feeling Gross
If you're looking for a pick-me-up after a day slogging around town in the summer heat, Shu Uemura Depsea Facial Mist, Bergamot, $25, has your back (or, more accurately, your face). The simple formula of deep-sea water and natural scents means you can mist your entire face, body and hair for an all-natural moisture boost. Stick it in the fridge and spray on before you step out into the heat for a seriously reenergizing treat.

If Your Skin's Been Looking Sallow or Dull
The sun isn't the only thing sabotaging your skin come summertime. There's pollution and other gross things floating around in your city's damaging air that lead to breakouts, clogged pores and a dull complexion. Counteract free radicals with La Mer The Mist, $60. The refreshing mist is packed with ingredients like vitamin E, powdered almonds, sunflower seeds and alfalfa, which (in addition to making a mean salad) protect against radicals while moisturizing the skin. Plus, within each bottle of mist is a live magnet that keeps all the active ingredients charged for optimum results.

If You're Jet Setting or Sitting in Recycled Air
Spending quality time in airports and soaking up all that stale air is more than enough to leave your skin looking and feeling drab. To get rid of that "just got off the redeye" pallor, pack Caudalie Beauty Elixir, $18. Basically a serum in mist form, this spray is packed with refreshing essential oils, like rosemary and peppermint, to stimulate circulation and revive tired skin. Snatch up the adorable 1 oz. bottle for your vacay carry-on.

If You Want to Deodorize While You Hydrate
So you're feeling like a wilted daisy that's been sitting in day-old garbage. Summers in the city can do that to you. Give yourself a head to toe refresher throughout the day with Rituals Chakra Water, $25, a mist that doubles as a deodorant and a cool down. Unlike heavier, oilier fragrances that feel sticky and smell strongly, this spray is lightly scented with delicate Indian rose and Himalayan honey. The formula is also textile-friendly, so you can spritz it on your bed, in your car and on your clothes to keep everything fresh without a headache-inducing musk.

If the Heat's Making You Feel Saggy or 100 Years Old
If the high temperatures are making you feel like Droopy, Tata Harper Hydrating Floral Essence, $85, will give you that much-needed hydration boost. This luxurious mist contains hyaluronic acid, a powerful humectant, and gotu kola, a plant that promotes circulation in the skin. Together, they give skin a full and plump (read: youthful) appearance. Spritz the mist on your bare face or over your makeup through the day to give skin a lift.
