In between my trips to Italy and Aruba I came home to countless packages containing new beauty launches and was excited to find anything labeled "cooling" as Aruba gets brutally hot. Let's just say that half of the product I packed were my daily essentials and the other half was considered "work" – you know, cooling beauty products, the ones I planned on putting to the test in dead heat. (I had to pay because my suitcase was overweight! Tax write off?) Out of all of the ones I brought, two are standouts.
Jergens Soothing Aloe Refreshing Moisturizer
Slathered in SPF 45 daily, of course I've been taking in the sunshine and when it comes time to shower and get ready for the nighttime, this lotion has been a treat. I obsessively moisturize as soon as I get out of the shower and my parched skin soaks in the extra relief from the aloe. Even though I'm not sunburned, I have color and my body is hot. The cooling, soothing essence of the aloe acts like a treatment to my skin.
L'Occitane Ice Gel for Legs & Feet
When I opened this cooling beauty product from L'Occitane I was surprised, because every time I tried something similar it was normally from a sporty company. This one seemed luxe. Each morning here I did sprints before hitting the beach and since I'm not used to running, (a total barre babe), boy was I sore! Especially my calves, so putting this one to the test was also a natural fit. It has a rollerball application, which was great for a minor massage and invigorates my muscles, while cooling and relieving them. I'm kind of obsessed. And I don't see why you can't use it elsewhere.
