Beat the heat wherever you are this summer with these affordable cooling towels you can take anywhere.
Amidst the mini-heatwave, many of us have been looking for ways to keep cool. Even as scorching temperatures are set to end soon, we still have summer to get through.
So, whether you are on holiday, or the UK weather heats up once more, you might need something to help keep cool. Which is exactly why these Sukeen Cooling Towels have been branded a "lifesaver" in Amazon reviews.
To help ensure you don't overheat, these reusable towels have been crafted from a breathable, hyper-evaporative mesh material that boast cooling benefits and get activated when you simply run it under some water and wring it out.
Currently hugely popular on Amazon with over 32,000 reviews in total, you can bag a pack of four just now for £13.99, meaning that it is essentially works out at just under £3.50 each.
With their "moisture wicking" materials, they work to remove excess body heat and can absorb body surface sweat, making them perfect for when you are struggling to keep cool in sizzling climates.
As shoppers say the unique cooling effect "lasts for hours", you won't need to constantly be soaking the towel in water to cool down. It can also be worn multiple ways, making it ideal for the gym, on holiday, by the beach, or even when working outdoors in the sun.
Since they all come with their own carry pouch, you don't need to worry about losing them, or little ones leaving them about the house. Just attach the pouch to your belt or backpack to save money and keep cool wherever you go.
For those who'd prefer a blast of cold air, then the Rechargeable Portable Neck Fan for under £10 at The Range might be more suitable. Another must-have summer item for keeping cool could be the Superdrug Face & Body Cooling Spray that costs £5.
Fashion deal of the week
Looking for a statement wardrobe item for summer? Then we know the M&S dress you need to check out.
The high street firm only recently dropped the Pure Cotton Bubble Hem Midaxi Dress, but it's already described as "in demand" online.
Retailing at £49.50, this black frock features a sleeveless bodice that flows into a midax-length bubble skirt. Offering a "statement silhouette", it's no wonder why other fashion fans say they get "so many compliments when wearing this dress."
There's gathering in the skirt that adds extra movement, while the cut-out back detail offers an elegant touch. Crafted from a breathable pure cotton material, it's a breezy layer that won't cause you to overheat when the temperatures rise.
Finished with a back-button fastening, the dress has also been fully lined for comfort. With its eye-catching design, it's suitable for fancy events with a pair of chic kitten heels and clutch bag, but can also be worn casually with sandals during the day.
Designed in petite, regular and long lengthways, this £49.50 M&S dress is still available to buy in sizes six to 24. However, we'd advise acting fast, as some sizes are beginning to be snapped up rather quickly.
Despite being a new addition, the Pure Cotton Bubble Hem Midaxi Dress has left many shoppers impressed, as they say it is "stunning" to wear and has other women asking "where it was from."
A pleased customer said: "So many compliments wearing this dress. The dress is beautiful, I felt really nice in it and lots and lots of women asked me where it was from."
However, if you're keen on trying out the Sukeen Cooling Towels, then it's worth knowing that they have amassed 23,298 five-star reviews, alongside a 4.5 rating from users who have said they provide "great relief" from scorching temperatures.
One delighted customer wrote: "Great for heatwaves, soak overnight in its pouch in the fridge for hot UK summer days. Stitched together to make sleeves for drivers arm. A great relief from the heat."
A similar review read: "These towels are fantastic. They really help me and my sons keep cool in this very hot weather we now have in the UK. Great value for money and they come with a handy, sealable bag each to keep them in. Highly recommend."
However, someone who didn't find them to be worth the hype wrote: "They do not get as cool as others I've tried & they do not stay cool but they are better then using nothing & the price is affordable."

My only wish is that they kept their chill a little longer between soakings, but that's not even enough of an inconvenience to take off a star. LOVE THESE THINGS!"
