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. 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.
5. Cooling Sheets: LL Bean 280 Thread-Count Cotton Percale Shets
Rated by Wirecutter as the "best sheets for most hot sleepers," these sheets are designed to keep you cool when night sweats are most likely to disrupt your sleep.
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.
Yes, we know things heat up unexpectedly in perimenopause and menopause. With a holistic view of your lifestyle, you can keep cool and hopefully minimize the disruption that come with shifting hormones.
A face cream that cools? Yes! Calm Deep Hydration Restorative Cream offers a mild, cooling sensation upon application. Try it risk free for 60 days. If you don't love it, we offer hassle free returns.
As always, please seek help from your medical practitioner if your perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms are disrupting your life. You do not need to suffer in silence.
