Triple digit temperatures are here, and they aren't going away any time soon.
Yes, that's right, the traditional Arizona summer filled with sweat filled days and nights are upon us.
Outside of darting from air-conditioned location to air-conditioned location, there's really no way to keep your cool, unless you have the right products.
We asked the gals at
ArizonaSpaGirls.com to share their top 10 favorite finds for keeping cool and dry during the season of sweat.
Here's what they dug up:
FaceNever leave home without 24/7 Facial Blotting Tissues. This hands-down SpaGirl favorite is a handy pack of all-natural rice papers that sop up excess oil in three formulations. It’s $7.49 at
Mozaik Skin & Body in Scottsdale and select
Ulta stores.
You know that magical time of the day after your shower and before you put on your makeup when you just can't stop sweating? Cool your jets with a blast of
LATHER Cucumber & Ginseng Facial Mist. Keep it in the fridge and pop in your cooler when you're heading out to the pool. ($14 at lather.com and the LATHER store at Kierland Commons.
BodyFor skin that's dewy not drenched, the new
Bliss Naked Body Butter Lite is fast-absorbing and super light weight and banishes reptile skin. It's $29 at blissworld.com and Bliss Scottsdale at the W Hotel.
A spritz of
Payot Deodorant Douceur Spray goes a long way to reduce the dreaded B.O. by controlling perspiration all day long. Enriched with soothing botanicals, you can squirt it all over from the neck down to counteract the sweat. It’s $30 at
Spa Avania at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale and other select salons and spas.

SolesFoot powders are effective messy. To combat foot funk, try
