Summer is the time of year that we all count down too, the time of year we associate with tans, BBQs and beaches. BUT, when summer finally arrives us Brits don’t know how to handle the heat and the classic one liners come out “it’s too hot” or “its ridiculously hot, it needs to rain” – are we ever happy?
Because GroomingMail.com’s got your back, we’ve got 9 cooling tips that will help you cool down in the high summer temperatures and some great products that will help you ditch that sweaty, clammy feeling that we classically associate with summer.
How To Cool Yourself Down
9 ways to cool yourself down this summer. Some may be obvious but have never failed us, whilst some may just surprise you as a way to cool yourself down.
1. A Fan
Seems like the most obvious piece of advice we could give you to help cool yourself down in the summer heat but have you actually purchased one?
One thing we can’t stand is people who moan about “needing a fan” but never making the purchase – always make sure you’re prepared! Here are some great fans you can pick up from amazon for under £15 and all rated highly.
2. Freeze a pillow
A great way to cool down is to place a small pillow in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours, giving you that cold side of the pillow effect why’ll you drift off. Cover the pillow in one or 2 plastic bags before you place it in the freezer then this will stop ice forming on the material.
3. Spray Bottle
Invest in a spray bottle and keep it next to your bed! Fill it with ice-cold water and adjust the nozzle to a fine mist and spray it on your exposed skin for an instant cooling effect. Great if you wake up in the middle of the night boiling hot and need an instant cooling sensation to help you drift off back to sleep.
4. Trick Of The Wrist
Running a cold tap water over your wrists for 10 to 15 seconds on each arm will give you an instant cooling effect, you should feel the affects of this trick for around an hour – winning!
5. Frozen Treats
We all love an ice-lolly or ice-cream but those of us on a diet are put off the idea due to the high amount of sugar and calories in them. What if there were healthy alternatives? Try stocking your freezer with flavored ice treats such as chopped watermelon, pineapple or lemons – a tasty, healthy way to cool down!
6. Hint of mint.
We’ve all experienced the affects of Original Source Mint And Tea Tree Shower Gel
Harness the cooling effects of mint. Mint refreshes the skin and leaves a nice cooling sensation. Try a few minty or menthol products to cool your skin, the below are some great ones to give a try.
7. Heat Rises
If you can’t sleep because of the heat then try sleeping on the couch or set up a camp/spare bed downstairs where its much cooler. Throughout the night you will feel the room temperature drop and it may even get too the point where you’re too chilly and need to return back to your loyal, loving bed.
8. Nivea 250ml For Men Cool Kick Anti Perspirant Deodorant
A gift from God when it comes to ditching the heat. The care formula has an instant cooling ‘kick’, leaving you cooler but with a fresh scent. We can’t recommend it enough to use over summer, ideal after a round of exercise for that instant cool down.
9. British Cup Of Tea
Last but not least, do what Brits do best and have a cup of tea! Hot tea has great cooling effects as the caffeine intake is linked to an increased production of sweat – it’s the evaporating sensation of the sweat on the skin that leaves you with a cooling sensation. Drinking tea causes you to produce more saliva which also helps to drop your body temperature.
