No shower facilities - need "freshen up" suggestions

I work at a small manufacturing company, very casual, in a rural area. I have started walking during my lunch hour. We have a small changing area in the ladies room which I use when changing into my walking gear, but no shower facilities. After walking, I try to "freshen-up" as much as possible - basically a PTA wipe down, followed by body powder, deodorant, etc. This does the job the for time being, but as the Texas summer is on its way, I know I will be sweatier and stinkier as the days gets hotter.

Any ideas about what to throw in my gym bag so I can get my walk done (I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet) and return to my desk sweet-smelling and clean?

thanks

    baby wipes are my go to for getting done what needs to get done.
    I also wash my hair and face.
    - change of clothing
    deoderant and body spray.


    But this is why I refuse to work out at lunch- no shower- no workout.
    I already spend hours in sweaty clothes- I don't want to have to do it at work. More power to you- that's just something I cannot get over. I'm too needy for that LOL.

    They have wipes and sprays for the "down there" region that work quite well. Dry shampoo for your hair... that's what I do after I work out at the gym because the showers there are gross.

    Baby Wipes/Face Wipes/ Dry Fragrant Shampoos (something from Victoria Secret), change of clothes, deoderant and maybe some perfume.

    If you're serious, these are fantastic: http://www.actionwipes.com/ I always have a few in my bag to wipe down after a long ride or run.

    I use Paper Shower body wipes after my lunchtime runs. They're bigger than regular baby wipes. Been using them for about a month....along with deodorant and body spray. I usually just put my hair up in a bun afterwards.
