7 cooling body wipes to beat the heat in Singapore

This is perhaps one of the best cooling body wipes you’ll ever find: Biore’s Cool Body Wipe Sheet in Peach Scent ($4.75 for 20 pieces). What does it do? Aside from its cooling, tingly, minty feel, this body wet wipe promises to remove sweat and body odours – which is perfect for those of us who go to the spinning, yoga, or pilates studio but prefer to pop home for a shower instead of waiting in line at the gym’s shower cubicles.

You must have seen this one before. At first sight, it looks like it’s a pack of makeup remover wipes by Biore. It’s actually Biore’s Sara Sara Body Powder Sheets in Breezy Floral scent ($2.35 for 10 pieces). These wipes come in a better quality, paper-like tissues that Biore usually uses for their makeup wipes. The floral perfume is pleasant and generally pretty universal. You won’t go wrong with this one if it’s your first time trying cooling body wipes out!

If you are often outdoors or tend to walk around and perspire a lot on your job, you may prefer some seriously intense cooling and refreshing wipes that will jolt you right awake. Try getting this Gatsby Ice Type Deodorant Body Paper in Cool Citrus scent ($3.50 for 10 pieces) that’s usually marketed for men.

If you don’t like that overwhelming blast of icy feeling on your skin, here’s a perfumed wet wipe that will cool you down and leave you smelling (and feeling) fresher than before. Watsons’ Sweet Berry Scented Body Wipes ($2.40) comes in a mini pack of 10 wipes which will definitely fit into the smallest of purses.

If you prefer a longer-lasting icy feeling that sticks and stays on your skin for 10 minutes or so, opt for the old school Snake Brand’s Prickly Heat Wet Wipes ($3.50 for 10 pieces). Of course, it comes with the distinct Prickly Heat powder scent that might just take you on a little walk down memory lane.

Looking for something more to complete the entire head-to-toe cooling body wipes experience? Here’s an Agave Cooling Hydrogel Eye Mask by Petitfee ($13.15 for 60 pieces). These eye patches promise an instant cooling effect which helps with de-puffing the eye area. You can also pop it on your forehead or laugh lines to nourish and soothe the skin.

Finally, for really hot days, we know it gets pretty uncomfortable down south in the feminine region. We were really excited to have found these Medicated Cooling Pads by Tucks ($13.23 for 100 pads). Even though they were meant for haemorrhoids, these Witch Hazel pads are suitable for daily rectal and vulva area hygiene cleaning as well – particularly for post-childbirth cleansing and soothing.
