How to stay cool and beat the office heat

- Claire O’Mahony

Fresh face

A COOLING mist spray is a useful desk drawer inclusion as temperatur­e rises. Avène Thermal Spring Water Spray is suitable for sensitive and allergic skin and is preservati­ve free. It helps with redness and even razor burn, and it won’t cause makeup or sunscreen to rub off. €8.99; boots.ie

Portable pep

IF there’s no room on your desk for a proper fan, this USB mini portable fan delivers a powerful blast of air. Compatible with iPhone 5s and 6s, the motor is quiet and while it doesn’t drain phone batteries significan­tly, it’s better for short periods than for prolonged use. €2.72; amazon.co.uk

Naturally does it

WEST Cork-based health brand Modern Botany has recently launched a new 100pc natural unisex deodorant/antiperspi­rant which contains 12 powerful and delicious-smelling ingredient­s such as lavender and sandalwood. It has micro-bacterial and deodorisin­g properties and is vegan and vegetarian certified as well as being aluminium- and paraben-free. €25; modernbota­ny.com

Summer sipping

STAYING hydrated in the heat becomes easier with the SHO water bottle. Made from stainless steel, its double-walled vacuum technology keeps drinks cold for 24 hours. Leak-proof and paraben free, it’s available in a variety of sizes, while the mouth is big enough for ice cubes to fit in. When it’s not so warm, the SHO will keep drinks hot for 12 hours. From €17.07; amazon.co.uk
