With heat waves taking over the country, keeping cool is a must this summer. Of course, you could jump in a pool, take an ice cold shower, and crank the AC…or you could apply some beauty products.

That's right, certain skin care products can offer a much needed cooling effect when you're feeling overheated – which is likely every damn day this summer.

Not only do these cooling beauty products provide instant relief from the heat, they also offer additional benefits that your skin will love.

Benefits of Cooling Beauty

Apart from a providing a cooling effect that makes hot temperatures a bit more bearable, studies show that cooling skin care has additional benefits than simply helping you beat the heat.

According to experts, using cryotherapy and cooling treatments on your face can help calm inflammation and puffiness, increase hydration, and soothe itchy, irritated skin.

These cooling beauty products include everything from tools to face masks, serums and balms.

Take the best-selling Skin Gym ice roller, which you place in the freezer and roll across your face and neck. For an at-home spa day, a face mask is just the thing, like Peter Thomas Roth's Cucumber Gel Mask or IS Clinical's Hydra-Intensive Cooling Masque.

And nothing feels more refreshing than a few spritzes of a facial mist – bonus points if it has SPF like Coola's. But if you happen to get sunburnt (don't worry, it happens to the best of us), you'll be needing some soothing aloe vera gel.

True beauty girlies will love having a mini skin care fridge in their home to provide an extra boost of coolness to any product.
