10 Cooling Remedies For Post-Sun Skin

As much as many of us love worshipping the sun during the warmer months, laying out or playing outside can leave your skin a little hot and sensitive. The best solution? Cooling products and treatments, of course! And no, relieving your skin from too much attention from the sun isn't so involved that you have to go all out with some fancy DIYs while you still have the sunshine sleepies. Just slather a refreshing product over your body or dab on an ingredient you may already have in your kitchen.

Oh, and if you love a good chill factor for hot skin, don't hesitate to throw some of your products in the fridge before using them. That extra cooling sensation is so satisfying after you've been soaking up the sun. But besides simply cooling off your skin, many products and treatments that help regulate your temperature will also help with some other things too. Whether you need to put some moisture back in your skin or even heal a minor burn, these 10 products and treatments are what you'll want to reach for at the end of any summer day. Because it doesn't get much more refreshing than this.
