Green tea and mint

This is what a winning combo looks like. Catechins present in green tea have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can help to soothe irritated skin. Meanwhile, mint contains menthol, which has a cooling effect on the skin.

To use this combo to your advantage, steep a green tea bag in hot water for three minutes. Remove the tea bag, then add a few fresh mint leaves. Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes before applying it to your skin with a cotton ball. Also, you can put liquid in a spray bottle and use it as a cooling body mist.

Cucumber

This one’s a classic for a reason. Cucumbers contain as much as 96 % water, making them incredibly hydrating for the skin. Not only cucumbers will give you an instant cooling sensation, but they also contain vitamins C and E, which can help to brighten and protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. To use cucumbers to cool your skin, cut them into thin slices and apply them to the areas of your skin that are feeling hot or irritated. You can also blend them into a paste and apply it as a face mask.

You can also use cucumber if you have dark circles. All you have to do is to place slices of cucumber over your eyes for 10-15 minutes to help reduce inflammation and puffiness. Really great ingredient, right?

Aloe vera

Aloe vera is a true multitasker when it comes to helping the skin and it should definitely be a part of your everyday skincare routine. It’s often used to treat sunburns because it helps to soothe and heal the skin. Aloe vera is also hydrating and can help to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

To use it, simply apply a thin layer of aloe vera gel to the areas of your skin that are feeling dry or irritated. You can also add a few drops of lavender essential oil to help calm the skin.

Rosewater

Rosewater has been used for centuries in skincare for its many benefits. It’s incredibly refreshing and has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to soothe the skin. Rosewater is also a natural toner that can help to brighten the complexion and give the skin a healthy glow. To use it, simply mist your face with rosewater or apply it to a cotton ball and wipe it over your skin. You can also add a few drops of rosewater to your moisturizer or face mask for an extra boost of hydration.

Ice water

If you’re looking for an immediate cooling sensation, reach for a bowl of ice water. Dip a clean washcloth in the water, then apply it to your skin. You can also try filling a spray bottle with water and keeping it in the fridge for a quick and easy way to cool down your skin.

Just remember – don’t use ice directly on your skin, as this can damage the skin cells.

Cooling masks

There are a few different masks you can make at home that can help to soothe and cool the skin.

For a hydrating mask, mix together one mashed banana, one tablespoon of manuka honey, and one tablespoon of plain yogurt. Apply the mask to your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing it off with cool water.

For a brightening mask, mix together one tablespoon of grated cucumber, one tablespoon of plain yogurt, and one teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply the mask to your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing it off with cool water.

For an anti-inflammatory mask, mix together one tablespoon of oatmeal, one tablespoon of manuka honey, and one tablespoon of plain yogurt. Apply the mask to your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing it off with cool water.

As you can see, there are a variety of ways you can use ingredients from your kitchen to soothe and cool your skin. So, next time you’re feeling hot and bothered, reach for one of these ingredients to help you cool down. Your skin will thank you!
