How to Heat Up Your Beauty Routine for Sizzling Style

Maintaining a simple, summer beauty routine without sacrificing your looks is a bit easier said than done. After spending a day by the pool, at the beach or trekking through the 95 degree city streets, chances are we all look a bit undone… and not in that effortless Gisele sort of way.

FACE & LIPS

 MISSION’s EnduraCool™ Instant Cooling Towel Collection is powered by patented Coolcore™ technology and offers innovative, intelligent and sustainable cooling solutions to athletes and those who spend time outdoors – giving them the ability to feel cooler, go harder and enhance their performance. Made from a proprietary performance fabric that instantly cools to approximately 30 degrees below the average body temperature in under a minute when soaked with water, wrung out and then snapped in the air to activate the cooling properties. The revolutionary, high-performance multi-yarn fiber absorbs and retains moisture into its fabric core, circulating the molecules while regulating the rate of evaporation to ensure an instant and prolonged “air conditioner” effect to cool your head, neck, shoulders and other pulse points. The fiber simultaneously wicks moisture away from the body so the fabric feels cool against the skin, not wet. The cooling technology lasts up to two hours before needing to be re-activated and each of the machine-washable and chemical free wearables will continue to perform for as long as you need it. Added bonus – Ultra Violet Protection Factor (UPF) 45+ provides sun protection when covering the skin, making it the perfect summer essential to stay cool and protected.
Price: $14+, Available at www.missionathletecare.com.
