Reddit reviews 2 Empty Blue Glass Spray Bottles - 4oz Refillable Bottle is Great for Essential Oils, Organic Beauty Solutions, Homemade Cleaning and Aromatherapy - Small Portable Misters with Caps & Labels - 2 Pack

I prefer a pump. But you have to struggle at the last 1/4. I just refill. I am not a huge decanter. Mostly keep stuff in the orignal buttle. Not a lover of dropper bottles. Maybe you get further down the bottle without struggling with it vs a pump? Clearly not air proof, but not all pumps are. I just find them cumbersome. I would decant products out of dropper bottles, if it were easier to get the product out in one shot. The main thing I decant is my Scinic AIO, as it the jar is messy to work with. Also Holika aloe gel, as that cute aloe bottle is hard to control the amount comming out. Some of the bottles broke on me. I drop things. I decant some serums, because I think the antioxidants might last longer in a more opaque/airless bottle.

Bottles I like: These are good airless and opaque pumps. Here. Hard to tell when they are empty though or when you filled them. Looks like it might be clear, but the bottle is hard white plastic. But it keeps out air and light and keeps the ingredients fresh.

These are a bit easier to work with and small, so might be better for travel. Still dark to keep out most of the light but you can see the product. Air cleary gets in.

I am liking these misters, though clearly not for essences. They are a bit larger than I expected. They mist nicely. Again the blue keeps a fair amount of light out. Not to many toners I like to mist, but a few.

I usually either mist as a toner step (so, heavily and then pat it in) or as a last step after my powder makeup routine to help things melt together. My favorites for these have been:

SoonJung Relief Toner decanted into a glass spray bottle (toner step)

Klairs Fundamental Ampule (toner step)

Onomie Radical Setting Mist (last step, HG item)

I hate bottles where the mist is super fine because I feel like it just evaporates into the air (looking at you, Glamglow Glowsetter). I like to use hydrating mists rather than traditional setting sprays since most makeup-focused ones contain alcohol or make my face feel dry/crackly.

I would decant into little spray bottles so you can apply directly to your face without wasting on a cotton pad. These spray bottles have pretty good reviews, mist pretty well so you’re not shooting a jet stream at your face. A few spritzes, just enough to get your face wet but not product dripping and gently pat into your skin. I use it for the Missha FTE and spray three times: left cheek, right cheek, forehead.

I got my husband on a simple skincare routine. He is also on the oily side of normal. Right now he's using:

• Face wash: Purpose Wash
  
  
• Toner: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel
  
  
• SPF: Supergoop <- Not drugstore but the only thing I could actually get him to use since it doesn't smell like sunscreen, you only need a tiny amount
  
  I put the toner in one of these glass bottles because I thought he'd be more likely to use it than putting the toner on cotton pads. I recently got the Clarisonic Mia brush for Christmas and it's wonderful but the brush heads are expensive so I bought [these] (https://www.amazon.com/Greeninsync-Compatible-Replacement-1Sensitive-Cleansing/dp/B00PEJAWCI/ref=sr_1_5_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1484517812&sr=1-5&keywords=clarisonic%2Bface%2Bbrush&th=1). Although the Clarisonic is expensive, if you could buy it for him for Christmas or his birthday the link I listed has a year's worth of replacement brush heads for $15. I'm going to have my husband use my Clarisonic with his own brush head twice a week to prevent his pores from becoming clogged up. I feel like he'll use the brush more than something like a face mask.
  
  At this point I'd say the most important thing to get your boyfriend on is a strong daily SPF to prevent premature aging and further sun damage to his skin.
