With triple digit temperatures and high humidity, I’m grateful for anything that helps me weather this sizzling summer. Here, some of my favorite skin cooling products …
To the rescue comes a new, patent pending product called COOL OFF™. Infused with a clean-scented formulation of natural ingredients that include cooling herbs, plant botanicals and essential oils, these moist towelettes provide an immediate cooling effect that’s said to last past the time the towelette is removed from your body. Pack them in your gym or beach bag. Bring them along on all of your summer outdoor activities. (And, here’s a bonus – the literature says they’re great for hot flashes.) Available at CVS.com, Amazon.com and at Duane Reade stores in New York City, $2.99 for a package of four.
Prevent makeup meltdown on a hot day – or during a hot flash – with Skindinavia’s Cool Flash Makeup Finish. Spray it on your face before you apply your regular makeup, respray to set it and Cool Flash works to prevent fading and caking of eye shadow, foundation, blush and concealer for hours. (You can respray during the day if you feel like it.) It’s kind of the weirdest – and coolest – thing in that it works by chilling the makeup surface, i.e., your face, by up to 20 degrees F., so your makeup stays put for hours. Cool Flash Makeup Finish works with all brands of makeup but don’t forget the waterproof mascara to prevent raccoon eyes. Available online at Skindinavia’s website for $29. for four ounces, a four-month supply.
