by Sara Cifani

We are in the dog days of summer, and it is HOT! Sky-rocketing temperatures, high humidity, and UV intensity can all lead to symptoms of discomfort, heat cramps, heat exhaustion or even sunstroke. Incorporating these beauty cool down products and tips into your daily routine will keep you healthy and happy through the heat.

TIPS

Rep​rinted from Fast Beauty: 1000 Quick Fixes  

By: Rona Berg (Workman Publishing Company)

1. Keep your face cream chilled in the fridge in the hot summer months. It will help it stay fresh longer in the heat, and feels really cooling when you put it on!

2. Spray your face with rosewater throughout the day to keep your skin moisturized and give it a dewy look. (Also keep the rosewater chilled, if you can, it is really refreshing)

3. To keep your fragrance from evaporating quickly, squirt a dab of un-fragranced moisturizer in your palm, mix in a few drops of your fragrance, and massage into skin.

4. Wet a washcloth, put it in the freezer and rest on the back of your neck when you come in from outdoors.
