Beat The Heatwave: Tips To Stay Cool In This Searing Inferno
Look, we can all agree Mother Nature cranked the thermostat up to a "nuclear furnace" this month. But fear not, fellow heatstroke survivors! With a bit of know-how and some creative cooling strategies, we can weather this fiery storm (or at least prevent ourselves from becoming puddles).
Here's Barbie's Beauty Bits survival guide to conquering this heatwave and emerging triumphant, not transparent, like a melting popsicle!
Hydrate Like A Houseplant
Water is your BFF right now. Avoid sugary drinks and excessive caffeine, which can actually dehydrate you further. Pretend you're a thirsty sunflower reaching for the sky – chug that H2O! Bonus points for keeping a reusable water bottle by your side – it's good for the planet and keeps your drink refreshingly chilled.
Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink! For a flavorful boost, add sugar-free options like Hydrant to your water. Plus, fruit enlivens bland tap water, especially if bottled water isn't readily available.
Channel Your Inner Fashionista With A Cooling Twist
Upgrade your cooling routine with a facial mist specifically formulated for hot weather! My pick? Brave facial mist. Here's why it's a heatwave hero:
- Instant Refreshment: A quick spritz delivers a cooling sensation throughout the day, keeping you feeling invigorated. Think of it as a tiny pick-me-up for your face!
- Antimicrobial Power: Brave boasts antimicrobial properties, helping to cleanse your skin of potentially harmful bacteria that can thrive in hot, sweaty conditions.
- Soothe the Heat's Wrath: Brave's unique formula can help reduce inflammation, redness, swelling, and discomfort—all potential after-effects of a scorching day.
- Beat the AC Blues: Constant air conditioning can wreak havoc on your skin, zapping all its moisture. Brave facial mist restores it, keeping your complexion hydrated and happy.
Toss a facial mist like Brave in your bag, and you'll be ready to combat the heat with a refreshing and effective solution!
Dress For The Sauna, Not The Soiree
We all love a classic little black dress, but let's be honest: this weather calls for a beach vacation vibe, not a night at the opera. Ditch the dark clothes – they're heat magnets! Embrace breezy, light-colored fabrics made from natural fibers like cotton or linen. Think flowy dresses, breezy shorts, and shirts for a stylish summer wardrobe that won't cling to you.
Become A Master Of Shade
Ways to stay cool in the heat outside? The sun wreaks havoc on us in many ways, from sunburns to damaged hair. Seek shelter under trees, umbrellas, or awnings whenever possible.
If you must venture out, consider a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses for some summer hair care to protect your glorious face (and prevent squinting—nobody wants crow's feet prematurely caused by heat squints!). And do not forget the sunscreen! There are some great tinted sunscreens for glowing skin, so you can ditch the foundation, too.
Embrace The Power Of Cool H2O
Take a refreshing, cold shower or bath. Dampen a washcloth with cold water and place it on your pulse points (wrists, neck, forehead) for a quick cool-down. Who needs a fancy spa when you've got basic science on your side?
Cool Down From the Inside Out
Who says popsicles are just for kids? Indulge in refreshing fruits and vegetables with high water content – watermelon, cucumber, and berries are all excellent choices. Cold soups like gazpacho are another delicious way to stay hydrated and cool.
Become A DIY Air Conditioning Guru
Close your windows and curtains during the hottest part of the day to keep the sun's wrath at bay. If you have an air conditioner, use it wisely – set it to a comfortable temperature and avoid the temptation to crank it down to arctic levels (it's easy on the wallet and the environment).
Become An Ice Fanatic
How to stay cool at night without AC? Upgrade your fan game, by putting a bowl of ice in front of it! Fill a shallow dish with ice and water and position it in front of your fan for a cool breeze that actually feels refreshing. Feeling fancy? Spritz yourself with that facial mist I mentioned while enjoying the cool air—it's like a personal mini air conditioner!
Conquer Chafing And Embarrassing Sweating
Let's face it, summer heat can bring unwanted sweat in some not-so-pleasant places. But fear not! Here's how to stay cool, dry, and feeling confident all season long.
Stay cool, dry, and confident all summer long with The Happy Curves Comfort Cream & Powder. This duo helps combat boob sweat and chafing, keeping you feeling amazing even on the hottest days. The vegan Comfort Cream targets sweat-prone areas, while the powder absorbs moisture throughout the day.
Be A Good Neighbor And Pet Parent
Look out for elderly friends and neighbors, especially those without air conditioning. Don't forget your furry friends either – providing them with ample water is crucial during this heatwave.
Here are some additional pet safety tips to keep your precious pups cool and comfy:
- Avoid Pavement: Avoid prolonged exposure to hot asphalt, sand, or similar surfaces, which can burn your pet's paws. Remember, asphalt can get significantly hotter than the air temperature! If you must walk your pet outside, try to stick to grassy areas.
- Walk Wisely: Avoid strenuous exercise on sweltering days. Reschedule walks for the early mornings or evenings when the sun's heat is less intense. This will keep your furry friend happy and safe.
By following these tips for staying cool in the summer, you can be a hero to both your human and furry neighbors during this sizzling summer stretch!
Remember, it might be heatstroke if you experience dizziness, nausea, or excessive sweating. Seek medical attention immediately.
By following these tips, you can transform from a heatwave victim into a heatwave victor. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and remember – this too shall pass (hopefully soon, with a giant glass of iced GREEN tea in hand or better yet some coconut water).
