Heat-proofing your wardrobe can also help you stay cool indoors. Opt to wear breathable, lightweight fabrics like cotton and linen.
These materials offer premium air circulation so your skin can appreciate that fan blowing on you. Cotton is also great if you or your kids have sunburns as the fabric is soft and gentle on irritated skin.
3. Take a Cold Shower
If you’re unable to cool off with clothes on, take them off! Strip down and hop in the shower. Turn the water temperature all the way down and let the cold water wash over you for as long as you can stand it.
Taking a cold bath or shower will help lower your body temperature for a while, preventing you from sweating and overheating.
4. Cook Outside
Using your oven or stovetop during the summer will only make your home hotter. Therefore, it’s best to take your cooking outside to the grill.
While it may be hot outside, cooking on the patio or deck will prevent indoor temperatures from rising, allowing you to eat in more comfortable temperatures, even if you do break a sweat making the food.
