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.

8. MISSION
EnduraCool™ Instant
Cooling Towel
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.
