13 Cooling Beauty Products That Will Be Your Saving Grace for Summer
On the hottest, most humid days, there’s no sweeter relief than swan diving into a 60-degree pool. But sadly, life’s not a continuous vacation so we must go for the next best thing: self-chilling beauty products. Infused with menthol, aloe and peppermint, these genius little inventions will help you hit the proverbial refresh button.

Store it in the freezer and pass it over your face and neck on particularly rough mornings (or sticky afternoons). It reduces puffiness and inflammation better than any frozen bag of peas.

Made with actual Greek yogurt, this soothing lotion-gel hybrid is ideal for after-sun exposure. For extra benefits, keep yours refrigerated.
