Beat the Heat: Cooling Skincare Hacks for Hot Summer Days

Listen. This summer is summer-ing, okay?!?

…and we are here for the best season to ever do it.

Butttt, when you add mom-life to the heat, we know it can be a tad bit challenging to keep your cool — AND — juggle everything else.

Fear not, my friend.

Because we’ve got your back with some refreshing and easy-to-implement cooling skincare hacks to help you stay radiant, hydrated, and stress-free during these hot-summer days.

Hydration Nation: Sip, Sip, Hooray!

With the hot temps, it’s super-duper important to stay hydrated from the inside out.

Hydration is not only crucial for your overall health but also for maintaining supple and plump skin.

As a busy mom, it’s easy to forget to sip enough water throughout the day, so let me let you in on a little trick to drink enough water.

Ready for it?

Fruit! Add some flair by infusing our water with fresh fruits for a burst of flavor. (Watermelon, Mango and Cucumbers are to dieeee for)

The point is, stay hydrated, my friend.

Aloe Power: Soothe and Restore

If by chance, you’ve spent a little too much time in the sun (oh hi, pool day!), turn to our favorite summer superhero: ALOE VERA.

This incredible plant is a fan fave because of its natural cooling properties and is a lifesaver for sun-kissed or sun-irritated skin.

So here’s the deal. Keep a bottle of pure aloe gel in the fridge and apply it generously after sun exposure. Not only will it soothe and restore your skin, but it’ll also give you a refreshing sensation like no other.

Ice, Ice, Baby: DIY Cooling Face Mists

Let’s get into the world of DIY cooling face mists!

It sounds like a big project, but it’s not.

Ready for it??

Well, It’s as simple as brewing some green tea, chillin it, and pouring it into a spray bottle. THAT’S IT!

Just keep it in the fridge and spritz it on your face whenever you need a refreshing pick-me-up. The other cool thing is that green tea is packed with antioxidants that combat inflammation and redness, making it the perfect summer elixir for your skin.

Time to Chill: Frozen Facial Rollers

Step aside, Elsa, because frozen facial rollers should be every mom’s secret weapon to beat the heat.

Pop a facial roller (you can find them at most beauty stores) into the freezer and let it chill for a few hours or overnight.

Then when you’re ready, gently roll it across your face for an instant cooling effect.

Also, facial rollers get bonus points for reducing puffiness and increasing circulation for that coveted summer glow. Honestly, it’s a win-win all around.

Summer Lovin’: Lightweight Hydrators

Say goodbye to heavy creams for now, and opt for lightweight and oil-free moisturizers during this summer heat. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which is a super-ingredient for skin because it binds moisture to your skin just like a magnet, ensuring it stays plump and hydrated all day long.

The Power of Frozen Fruits: DIY Eye Pads

Let’s be real here. Summertime is fun, but boy-oh-boy, is it a busy season with the kids home and a ton more activities and mom-stuff to do. But here’s the thing, tired-mom-eyes don’t stand a chance against DIY frozen fruit eye pads.

So all that you need to do is, slice cucumbers, strawberries, or even kiwis and place them in the freezer. And then, when you need a little TLC, grab a couple of slices and place them on your eyes for an instant cooling effect that reduces puffiness and revives tired peepers.

Morning Brew: Exfoliation Elixir

Exfoliation always sounds like a big project to do, but we’ve got the easy-peasy mom way to do it for you. So here’s the deal. Mix some coffee grounds with a touch of coconut oil to create a gentle and all-natural scrub that will get rid of your dead skin cells and reveal your radiant complexion. Plus, the aroma will give you a mini coffee fix!

So, there you have it. With these refreshing summer-skincare hacks up your sleeve, you’ll breeze through the hot summer days cool as a cucumber. Because, even in the midst of the chaos of mom life, you deserve to feel refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to tackle ALL of the summer adventures that your kids rope you into. Stay cool and glow like a mother, okay!
