12 Mattifying Setting Sprays Perfect For Hot, Summer Months

The summer tends to bring out the oiliness in all of us. (Some more than others. Hi, how you doing?) And hey, maybe you like a little extra glow. But if that's not really your thing, one of the best ways to handle the shine is with a mattifying setting spray. Especially if you just beat your face to the gods before stepping out in some 90-degree mugginess. So it's a good thing there are so many options.

Besides simply keeping oil at bay, a mattifying setting spray can also help keep your makeup from melting, refresh your skin at any time, and even impart some much-needed benefits like sun protection or soothing effects. Personally, I love keeping a little, travel-sized spray in my purse during the warmer months so I can give myself a spritz whenever and wherever. Oh, and don't worry. Even though mattifying mists will control the dewy factor, they'll still keep your skin hydrated. (And especially with all the air conditioning going on during the summer, extra hydration never hurts.) So your skin can stay matte yet comfortable, and your makeup lasts all day long, here are 12 mattifying sprays to try when the weather heats up:
