8 cooling beauty products that will help beat the heat

Shampoo & conditioner

Amp up the effects of a cold shower with this cooling shampoo and conditioner. With the help of peppermint oil and tea tree essence, these formulas instantly cool on contact, while also controlling flaky scalps and leaving hair looking clean and healthy. 

Head & Shoulders Instant Cooling Relief Shampoo & Conditioner, $6 each, Walmart.

Masque

Forumlated for acne-prone skin, this masque clears breakouts and provides a cooling sensation upon application. Pro tip: Cool it down even more by putting the masque in the fridge for five minutes before slathering it on.

Clear Start Cooling Masque, $36, Dermalogica. 

Daily face lotion

The fact that this face lotion is created in chilly Iceland should be proof alone that it's going to cool you down. Formulated for chronically stressed-out skin (read: red, irritated, breakout-prone) with ingredients like Icelandic kelp and white willow bark, it goes on with a cooling burst to calm the skin and restore balance. 

Skyn Iceland The Antidote Cooling Daily Lotion, $50, Sephora. 

Eye balm

Instantly de-puff and soothe your under-eyes with this balm stick that easily glides on — and cools in the process. 

Boscia Super-Cool De-Puffing Eye Balm, $32, Sephora.

Blotting papers

These innovative blotting papers will save you in a pinch — they'll minimize shine and provide a cooling sensation thanks to the infusion of mint. 



Sephora Collection Cooling Mint Blotting Papers, $10/100 sheets. 

Thermal water spray

If you can't run through a sprinkler or plunge into a cool body of water, this is the next best thing. Mist yourself all over with this soothing and cooling mineral water, straight from Vichy, France. 



Mineralizing Thermal Water, $13, Vichy. 

Body moisturizer

This cream-gel is specifically formulated to cool you down post-workout, but we say it's good any time you need to chill. A blend of wild mint, spearmint and eucalyptus essential oils reinvigorate the skin and, best of all, it's lightweight and fast-absorbing.

Hit Refresh Cooling Moisturizer with Hawaiian Mineral Water, $39, Origins. 

Foot spray

Cool your feet down and, like magic, your whole body cools down. That's why we recommend carrying this peppermint foot spray in your bag to spritz on anytime, anywhere. Not only does the blend of peppermint oil, menthol and grape extract cool down the skin, but it helps to deodorize feet to keep them fresh all day long. 

Peppermint Cooling Foot Spray, $12, The Body Shop.
