It’s a summer classic: you’re trying to sleep, and you find yourself turning your pillow over to get three seconds of coolness. We leave the tomato-red metro, feeling like we’ve melted. And even misters are becoming objects of desire in overheating open spaces.
Products to cool off in summer are no longer a luxury, they are essential.
At this stage, we dream more of a real survival kit than of a drink on the terrace. The kind of products to cool off in summer that prevent you from falling into a bad mood or a raging migraine. Masks taken out of the fridge, XXL mist, ice cube effect pillow… We tested them, and spoiler: there are some that we never let go of, even at the start of the school year.
The frozen duo we were waiting for
Infusion or dessert? AquaExotica and AquaSummer are the dream summer iced teas. The first is a blend of hibiscus, mango and dragon fruit, the second is a clever blend of peach, apricot and an ultra-thirsty tangy touch. Theine-free, organic, to infuse hot or cold, they hydrate with panache. All packaged in the Kusmi workshops in Le Havre, with compostable bags (we keep our conscience clear). One of the most delicious and sensory ways to use products to cool off this summer.
A mister for young and old
Often imitated, rarely equaled. This 400 ml spray provides a fine, gentle mist with each squeeze that rehydrates, soothes after sun exposure, fixes makeup… and even delights babies while changing. Its generous format is perfect for the house or the beach and its pure mineral water respects all skin types.
The solution for muscles and joints
Designed for athletes and those who feel their legs or shoulders on fire from 2 p.m., this gel brings together 14 essential oils (peppermint, wintergreen, eucalyptus, etc.), a texture that penetrates without sticking, and a cold effect that is unforgiving. The relief is almost immediate, even after a day of walking. Made in France*, it’s our SOS summer treatment.
An oasis of freshness
It’s perhaps the best kept secret for enduring heatwave nights. Made from Japanese “Arc-Chill” fibers, these reversible pillowcases absorb body heat and provide a feeling of freshness. The other side, in soft cotton, is perfect for mid-season. Significant bonus: they are anti-static, limit frizz, do not crease the skin and can be machine washed.
The Medi Grade face and eye mask
Dark circles, bags, congested nose? This refrigerated mask does not do half measures. It covers the entire face, adjusts with straps, and includes several independent patches for the eye area. In five minutes, the eyes are smoothed, the skin is calmed, and the feeling of freshness is delicious. Reusable, practical for traveling, it is one of our products to cool off in summer.
What products to choose when it’s hot but it’s not yet a heatwave?
When it’s already heavy, the idea is to focus on products that provide immediate feeling of freshness without being too restrictive. A face mist, a cold effect gel, an iced drink, a refreshing pillowcase or a cool mask can quickly change the day, especially if you work, sleep poorly or tolerate heat poorly.
How to cool down quickly when the temperature rises?
To regain some comfort, a few simple actions can help:
• Keep a
cool water mist
• Apply a freshness gel on the legs
• Drink regularly, even without feeling thirsty
• Close the shutters during the hottest hours
• Place a face mask or eye patches in the refrigerator
• Wear light materials such as cotton or linen
What is the most practical product to keep with you when it’s hot?
There refreshing mist remains the easiest product to take anywhere. It slips into a bag, can be used in the office, on transport or on the terrace, and immediately gives a fresher skin feeling. For an even more pleasant effect, you can keep it in the refrigerator before going out.
