Cooling moisturisers for hot weather

5 replies

Does anyone have any suggestions for lovely body moisturisers for hot weather? My skin feels so hot and dry at the end of each day at the moment I’m covering it with my usual body lotion but that feels quite heavy and it has a fairly rich smell. I’d love something that smells really refreshing and can cool me down. I’m prepared to spend a bit on a lovely one (but not much more than £20) as anything that makes me feel cooler at night at the moment will be well worth it!

(Any other suggestions for good beauty products for hot weather also welcome!)

Thank you!

Basic option - put normal moisturiser in the fridge. Seriously, it works.

Medicinal option - Dermacool 2% menthol in aqueous cream. The menthol is seriously cooling on your skin. A giant tub is just over £20. Not massively luxurious at all but it will be cool and smell refreshing.

I've been showering with Dove shower creme, and been foregoing body moisturiser. Occasionally using oil afterwards.

Have to agree about the fridge. I keep my aftersun in the fridge. It's amazing.

Body Shop do a new one called body yoghurt which would fit the bill perfectly, super cooling and lush fruity flavours. Only problem is it is usually excluded from the discounts Sad so a bit spendy.
