1. Cool off with an ice pop. There is nothing better
than a refreshing ice pop when it’s sweltering. It’s
even better when you make it yourself, choosing in-
gredients that support healthy skin.
2. Spritz yourself down. A few pumps of a revitalizing
facial spray will instantly give you a cooling sensation,
while also calming hot, irritated skin. We’re obsessed
with Moisture Surge Face Spray Thirsty Skin Relief ,
which contains bio-activated aloe water and caffeine
to deeply hydrate, nourish, and soothe skin. As it
evaporates, you’ll feel it actually cool you down. Stash
a bottle in your desk, your car, and your fridge so you
can mist yourself throughout the day. Plus, it’s totally
safe to spritz over your makeup—it won’t smudge or
remove what you have on. In fact, it’ll refresh your
makeup and give you a pretty all over glow.
3. Chill your pillows. If the AC isn’t cooling down your
bedroom enough, put your pillowcases in a plastic bag
and stash them in the fridge for 10 minutes right be-
fore going bed. A cold pillow will keep your neck and
face nice and cool, making you feel chill from head to
toe.
4. Take a hot/cold shower. You may be eager to jump
right into the sweet relief of an icy-cold shower, but
cold water won’t remove daily sweat and oily residue.
That’s because oil breaks down at higher temperature
(around 95-98°F). So lather up in warm water first for
a thorough cleanse, and then take a cool rinse to tem-
porarily constrict your pores and lower your body
temperature. Take that, heat dome!
5. Go oven-less. A hot oven contributes to an even hot-
ter home. So opt for light, fresh, no-cook meals. We
love these Skin Hydrating Paleo Wraps by nutritionist
Rosemary Ferguson. Want a sweet treat at the end of
a brutally hot day? Give this crushed macaron ice
cream recipe a try.
