The secret to instant refreshment when the heat has you down? Baby powder. Seriously.

“Baby powder is the secret to beating the heat when you’re dead on your feet. Really. Put a little where you need it and feel refreshed!”

This one sounds a little goofy, but I swear it’s true. Baby powder is one of those things we never leave behind when we hit the parks. A little travel container of it can fit in baggy shorts pockets or a purse without taking up much room and just a puff or two can really change the way you feel. When the sticky heat and sweat is getting you down, just hit a bathroom, wash up, use a paper towel to dry off and then hit yourself wherever you need it with the baby powder. Under your arms and behind your knees, even in your shoes. You’ll get an instant cooling and at least for a while the powder will keep you dry.
