If you’ve ever woken up in a tangle of damp sheets, or fanned yourself in a meeting during a flare — I see you. And I know it's not fun. Fortunately, there are cooling products that can help — from face cream to pajamas and everything in between.
Here are the six best cooling products I personally recommend to help take the edge off the perimenopause-induced heat, whether it strikes at noon or 2 a.m.
1. Cooling Face Cream: Phosis Calm Deep Hydration Restorative Cream
Calm contains an ingredient derived from marine algae that lightly cools skin on contact and helps to calm redness and inflammation common in perimenopause.
2. Jewels That Cool: Hot Girls Pearls
These "pearls" are filled with non-toxic cooling gel. Pop them in the freezer, then wear to cool your pulse points discretely. They also make a bracelet version that's lovely.
3. PJs That Fight Night Sweats: Eberjay Gisele Tencel Modal Shortie Pajamas
This adorable matching set is made with temperature regulating fabric that's dyed with safe, non-toxic dyes. I'm partial to the pink, but it comes in 7 other colors.
4. Instant Ice Facial: Omorovicza Cooling Dermaglobes
Store these pretty pro-grade tools in the fridge and glide across your face, undereyes, and décolleté to reduce puffiness and calm inflammation quickly in flushed skin.
5. Stay Cool in Bed: Avocado Green Pillow
Most pillows trap heat, but this one features a combo of organic latex, eco-conscious pillow stuffing, and an organic cotton cover to ensure it does not — truly makes a difference.
6. Refreshing Bubbles in a Bottle: Topo Chico Mineral Water
Meet the star of all my favorite summer mocktails; a cold super fizzy Topo is hard to beat. Mix with grapefruit and lime for a faux Paloma or with bitters for a low-sugar option.
