I am NOT a fan of heat and humidity. I know this sounds weird to say, but summer is my least favorite season. Fall is my favorite.
I don’t like summer because of the heat and humidity. If it wasn’t for that I would enjoy the summer months.
I can’t sleep when it’s too hot. I also can’t get comfortable when I am hot and sweaty.
I hate it when my skin gets sticky and sweaty. It’s the most uncomfortable feelings. Sometimes I hope in the shower to wet my skin down even if I’ve already showered. I find that it helps me to cool off and feel refreshed.
When I can’t hop in the shower I’ll use a cold, wet wash cloth and run it over my arms, face, neck and any place else that I want to cool down and refresh. Sadly that option is not always available, especially if you are at work or on the go.
Luckily there are Ban Total Refresh Cooling Body Cloths to help me cool off and feel refreshed. These body clothes are portable making them ideal for tucking in your purse or gym bag to use whenever you feel like you want to freshen up.
The first on-the-go cooling cloths in the US are now available in Energize, a light citrus fragrance. For those who love the patented refreshing experience of Ban® Total Refresh® Cooling Body Cloths, that leave you feeling completely invigorated with just one wipe, now you can enjoy even more fragrance options. Choose from NEW Energize (light citrus scent), Enliven (fresh spring scent), Invigorate (soft clean scent) or Restore (light powder scent), to pair a revitalizing scent with your every mood.
Featuring unprecedented, proprietary PowderSilk™ technology imported exclusively from Japan, Ban® Total Refresh® Cooling Body Cloths are a revolution in refreshing. These innovative cloths instantly cool skin on contact, helping you reset without any sticky residue. Each cloth leaves behind a translucent, superfine powder to keep skin smooth and comfortable for hours, transforming hot, sticky skin into soft, silky, reinvigorated skin in an instant.
Ban sent me several samples of the Cooling Body Cloths to try out for myself.
Each packet is resealable and comes with 10 decent sized cloths.
I love each of the scents. They are very light fragrances so you don’t have to worry about the scent staying around for two long. I think the scent is more so for you when you are using them to help lift your mood and senses. After the wetness is absorbed into your skin the scent mostly goes away unless you put your nose up to your skin where you used the wipes – then you can smell them a little longer.
I enjoy all the scents. I honestly can’t pick a favorite.
They don’t necessarily cool you off like being in an air conditioned room or taking a cool shower. But they do provide a bit of cooling relief.
These are more so when your skin is hot and sticky and you want to remove the damp, sticky feeling from your skin. The powder that these wipes leave behind (which you can’t see or feel) helps to absorb perspiration and give you a sense of being cool.
Hopefully I am explaining it correctly.
I keep a package in my purse so I can use them at work. Our room gets very hot and humid at times. I can freshen up in just a few seconds with a wipe or two.
The wipes are not too wet and not too dry. They are not rough on the skin nor do they leave your skin wet. The products absorbs into your skin quickly.
I wish the wipes were a bit larger. They are kind of on the small size. That is why I often use two of them. If they were larger you could cover more area with one wipe.
My daughter has a pack she keeps in her gym locker to fresh up and cool down after gym. I wanted to give a pack to my son but he says these are “girly” products. Maybe the company would consider making these more masculine friendly?
Over all I enjoy them and find that I use them often. They are handy to have.
Look for Ban Total Refresh Cooling Body Cloths in the deodorant aisle of your local grocery store as well as mass retailers nationwide.
Please note these are not to replace deodorant. They cannot be used the same way. These wipes are for refreshing your arms, legs, neck and so forth – they are not a deodorant.
The wipes have a retail price of $3.29 for a package of ten wipes.

I 1005 agree with you about summer. Lots of people get depressed in the winter, I get depressed in the summer. Everyone else is out having fun in the sun and I just can’t take the heat or the sun. Can’t wait for fall to get here!

Meant to say 100% LOL
