Shop All Day: Hot Summer Nights
Cool Care Technologies Cooling Gel Pad Pillow
It can be hard to fall asleep (and stay asleep) when you feel too hot. This pressure-activated pillow pad is designed to provide up to three hours of cooling relief, depending on your room conditions, and it automatically "recharges" after 15 minutes of non-use, according to the brand. It can be used over or under your pillowcase to help you cool down. TODAY viewers can score 30% off at CoolCareTechnologies.com with code TODAY30 through August 2.
Cool Care Technologies Cooling Gel Bed Pad
If you don't think a pillow pad can provide enough relief, the brand also makes a bed pad that utilizes the same cooling technology — and measures 3.5-feet long. According to the brand, it can help provide relief from hot flashes, sunburns and more. TODAY viewers can score 30% off at CoolCareTechnologies.com with code TODAY30 through August 2.
Host Cooling Wine Freeze Cup
While these cups were designed for wine, Ndlovu says you can put any kind of drink in them so you can enjoy them at the perfect temperature. The cups are insulated with a cooling gel that acts as a wine chiller when frozen (or you can stick it in the fridge to enjoy reds at cellar temp), says the brand.
Freeze Beer Glasses
Ndlovu also found a cup for the beer lovers out there! These pint glasses are also insulated with the same cooling gel that can keep brews at the right temperature, once frozen. While these are also designed for alcoholic beverages, this glass size is perfect for sodas and milkshakes, too.
Ausic Outdoor Portable Misting Fan
This multitasking fan is perfect for camping trips, barbecues and more, Ndlovu says. Not only does it work as a fan, but it also doubles as a light and as a misting fan for up to 36 hours, according to the brand. It's portable and doesn't require a cord in order to function, so you can take it with you to sporting events, barbecues and more. Plus, it features foldable hooks to help you prop it into place wherever you bring it.
Kinfield Sunday Spray
We've all spent too much time in the sun at one point or another — and we know how painful it can feel afterwards. This spray can help cool you down and soothe your skin after you experience irritation or whenever you could use some relief from the heat. According to the brand, it is formulated with eucalyptus, spearmint, cucumber and other ingredients that offer cooling and healing benefits.
Fenty Beauty Invisimatte Instant Setting and Blotting Powder
The heat can also cause you to work up some extra sweat and shine — this powder acts as a way to reset your look, Ndlovu says. According to the brand, all you have to do is blot it on your face in order for it to absorb oil (luckily, it comes with a compact mirror). If this pick looks familiar, it's because this is the same blotting powder that Rihanna used mid-performance during the Super Bowl to keep her look fresh.
