1. Prevention is Key

The most important thing with fighting the summer heat on the skin, is defending yourself from it in the first place. But let’s face it, we all love to enjoy the summer sun, so we recommend the Klairs Midday Blue Sun Lotion.

2. Immediate Aftercare

After spending the day in the summer heat and sun, it's important you cool down your skin as soon as possible. If your skin is feeling hot to the touch or any of the symptoms we mentioned previously, then you need to use a treatment that will “pull” the heat out of the skin. For that, on of the cooling products to try this summer after being in the sun is the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Sheet Mask.

4. Never Forget Your Head

When it comes to managing the summer heat, we often forget to take care of our heads. The heat and sun hit the top of our heads first which is the leading cause to heat stroke during hot summer days. To avoid heat stroke, always make sure to wear a hat on days where the UV index is 6+. If you forget to wear a hat, always seek the shade. If you forgot to do both of those, then you can quickly cool down the head by taking a cool shower and using our recommended Jungle Botanica Forest Leaves Cooling Shampoo. This shampoo contains dramatic cooling ingredients such as Menthol, Eucalyptus Leaf, Sodium Hyaluronate for advanced cooling. Alongside cooling, it also provides anti-inflammation, exfoliation and deep nourishing properties to unclog pores on the scalp while also strengthening color, heat, and sun damaged hair. *One thing I can say on a personal note, once you use this shampoo, you certainly won't be turning back!*This ultimate master list of cooling products to try this summer will not only have your skin looking the best it ever has during a summer season, but also your scalp and hair!
