Ya'll ... it is HOT. Like, sweating just walking the 40 feet to the mail box HOT. Don't even get me started on lugging in groceries! I've lived in Florida for 25+ years, but man Mother Nature, cut a girl a break! With two active boys, a never-ending love affair with the beach and a pool in every other backyard, we have been spending a ton of time outside. Annnnnnndddd sweating our butts off. Figuratively of course. {Don't I wish!}
Until my mom showed up at a baseball game with this peppermint cooling spray and saved the day. And the whole Summer!
Do you hear the minty angels singing?
This stuff is a life saver.
And it only has two ingredients.
Which means I will be making this peppermint cooling spray in buckets this Summer!
How to Make Peppermint Cooling Spray
Ingredients:
- 2 oz. water
- 3-5 drops Young Living Peppermint essential oil
Instructions:
- Drip 3-5 drops of Young Living Peppermint essential oil in a 2 oz. spray bottle.
- Fill bottle with water (distilled is my preference just because our tap water smells like chlorine from time to time).
- Shake well, spritz on your chest, arms, feet or neck and COOL down!
This is definitely one of my Summer essentials and will have a permanent place in my beach bag and ballpark tote bag! You can add a drop of Lavender to soothe or a few drops of aloe gel for a little moisture, too. Here is to staying cool and fresh this Summer!

I never even thought about using peppermint to cool off. Smart! Another plus is it keeps the bugs away!

do you have to worry about being in the sun with the oil on?
Keri says
From what I understand, citrus essential oils could make you more sensitive to the sun, but I have not had a problem at all with the peppermint cooling spray!
