Hot summer weather slowing you down? When you’re looking for a way to stay cool you need a method that stands up against the summer heat. Reach for something that will deliver a fresh, cooling effect right to the surface of your skin! This easy DIY recipe for summertime cooling wipes is perfect for dabbing away sweat to freshen skin, and the additions of Peppermint oil and Eucalyptus oil give your skin a cooling sensation so you can enjoy the sun, and all of its heat, all day long. 

SUPPLIES

• 2 cups distilled water
• 2 tablespoons Fractionated Coconut Oil
• 10-15 drops Peppermint essential oil
• 10-15 drops Eucalyptus essential oil
• 3-5 flour cloth towels

​​​​​​​INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut flour cloth towels into fourths or quarters.
2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and add the cloths.
3. Soak cloths in the liquid mixture for about an hour, or until there are no dry spots.
4. Ring out each cloth until it is damp and no more solution comes out.
5. Tightly roll up the cloths and store them together in an airtight container or in a reusable silicon bag for on-the-go use. 

Tip: For an extra cooling effect, keep your wipes in a chilled snack or beverage cooler to take with you on your pool, beach, or lake day.

Store used wipes in a separate bag, wash, and reuse for your next outdoor trip! If the wipes become dry during use, simply re-dampen with a bit of bottled water.
