In this article, we share 4 FREE (using only common household items) and quick nifty tricks that will not only quickly cool you down in sunny (hot) Singapore, but also serve other cool functions????\r\n\r\n \r\n

1. Damp Cloth On Dashboard = Cool Down Car Faster + Natural Facial<\/h1>\r\n

If the weather is hot enough, the warm air and water vapour may also open your pores and moisturize your skin. After the car has cooled down, you can even end off by patting down your face with the cool cloth to close your pores. <\/span>\r\n\r\nAhhh... Free and all natural facial treatment FTW! <\/span>\r\n

2. Wet Tissue On Aircon Vent= Cooler Air + Cleaner Interior<\/span><\/h1>\r\n
\"Wet

The tissues will dry up quite quickly, so you can replace them and use the used tissue to clean the interior of your car (you will be surprised how much dirt slightly damp tissues can pick up) - you could remove the dust from your aircon vent to improve the cold air flow. <\/span>Alternatively, you can leave the tissue on the aircon vent, and use the mist spray (from trick #3) to wet them again.<\/span>\r\n

3. Frozen Water Bottle = Cooling Pad + Hydrating Slushy Drink<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

\"Hydrate
Hydrate yourself with icy cold water<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nTo cool yourself down quickly, you could prepare a frozen water bottle. You may be thinking \u201cAin\u2019t nobody got the whole day to wait for the water to freeze!\u201d. Well, that\u2019s what we thought too, until we found out about this \u2018magic\u2019 trick that accelerates the rate your water freezes! <\/span>\r\n\r\nAll you have to do is wrap a couple of soaked (but not dripping) paper towels around a water bottle filled with water (or any drink of your choice), and place it in the freezer. The liquid should 'magically' freeze within a few hours. Next, take the frozen bottle with you into the car. You can place it behind your neck\/ on your lap (or anywhere you want to cool down) during your journey. When the ice starts melting, you can start rehydrating yourself with the icy chilly drink. Tip: Shake it well to create a delicious slushy texture.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAh! Icy cold water always tastes best when it\u2019s scorching hot!<\/span>\r\n

4. Mist Spray bottle = Cool Down Car Surfaces + Cool Yourself<\/h1>\r\n
\"Mist

A quick fix to this would be to leave a mist spray bottle filled with water in your car and spray these surfaces when you face this issue. It's especially effective in cooling down metal and plastic surfaces.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnd yes, it works on yourself too (Don\u2019t worry, we know you aren\u2019t made of metal or plastic)! You can spray water on any part of your body you will like to cool down. <\/span>\r\n\r\nTip: Spraying enough water on your scalp will help reduce the temperature of your body. <\/span>\r\n
