(Facial sprays by Fig & Yarrow and R.L. Linden & Co.)<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve already sung the praises of R.L. Linden & Co.’s Beautifying Mist Hydrating Floral Toner<\/a>, and since I use an assortment of facial sprays on a regular basis, I thought I’d add a few others to my list of favorites. I find facial sprays incredibly helpful for setting makeup once it’s applied, but also for refreshing it throughout the day. During these extremely hot summer days, a cool mist can be incredibly soothing in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

May Lindstrom’s The Jasmine Garden<\/a> is another lovely floral spray and a great introduction to her line of skincare. It’s suitable for your hair and body, and can lightly scent your sheets before bedtime, too.<\/p>\n

Currently, I’m using two bottles of Complexion Water by Fig & Yarrow<\/a>, one as a toner and one as a freshener. The Yarrow\/Immortelle\/Rockrose scent is perfect for toning my skin after cleansing, and it leaves a gentle, refreshing feeling. The scent is definitely unusual and almost reminds me of cooked carrots, but I’ve come to like it and use it each evening. And the Rose\/Sandalwood\/Neroli scent is a light, floral fragrance, which is perfect for setting makeup and refreshing later in the day.<\/p>\n

Another excellent option for facial spray is plain water, and I have often used a spray bottle filled with distilled or filtered water and a drop or two of lavender oil. It’s perfect for touching-up hair, too. These days, I’m using a bottle of Av\u00e8ne’s Thermal Spring Water<\/a> to remove my facial cleanser, and it doubles as a facial spray very nicely.<\/p>\n

Facial sprays have become an important part of my morning routine, and I especially love them in the warmer months. (A word of caution, though: be sure to test out floral sprays or those with essential oils and use them carefully. I was a little overzealous with one of mine recently and I think it caused a rash after I applied it too often before going out into the brutal August heat.)<\/p>\n

Do you like facial sprays as part of your makeup routine? I’d love to hear your recommendations!<\/p>\n
