I Swear By These Cooling Beauty Products to Keep Me Feeling Refreshed in Summer

Like most people, I love the summer months. I love that I don’t have to worry about bulky coats ruining my outfits, I love being able to be outside and actually enjoy it, and most of all, I love lapping up all of that vitamin D. However, that’s not to say that I don’t seriously struggle with the heat. 

While the summer usually leaves my skin glowing and my hair subtly sun-kissed, withstanding the uncomfortable heat sometimes makes it feel like it’s not worth it. It makes me lethargic, agitated and flustered. On top of that, hot weather can really take its toll on our summer beauty routines. From melting foundation to sweat-inducing moisturisers, there’s nothing enjoyable about trying to beautify yourself in 25º-plus climes.

While some people might simply skip their regimen on hotter days, the very idea of forgoing my favourite beauty pick-me-ups for any length of time at all does not sit well. Instead, over the years, I have actually managed to tweak and adapt my beauty routine in the summer so that I still reap all of the usual benefits while remaining as cool, calm and collected as possible.
