Summer Cooling Tips for a More Comfortable Home

1. Drink plenty of water

70% of your body is water. During hot weather, you lose water quickly through sweat. Follow this formula: Water intake/day = Body weight (kg) × 40 ml

Add lemon or orange slices to your water for better taste and extra vitamin C. Keep a water bottle nearby to remind yourself to stay hydrated.

2. Use face mist or a humidifier

Face mist refreshes your skin and cools your body instantly. Alternatively, use a mini humidifier with essential oils to keep your room cool and relaxing.

3. Apply a cold towel to your face and neck

Use a clean, cold towel on your face, neck, and back of the neck for a few minutes. This helps lower body temperature quickly.

4. Lightly wet your hair

Moisten your hair slightly to feel more comfortable and reduce heat. Avoid doing this too often or sitting under strong wind afterward.

5. Take a bath or go swimming

If you have access to a pool, enjoy a swim. Otherwise, a cool shower can improve your mood and creativity.

6. Avoid going out during peak heat hours

Stay indoors between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you must go out, wear sun protection and prefer vehicles with AC.

7. Wear breathable and light-colored fabrics

Choose cotton, silk, or linen. Light-colored clothes reflect sunlight and keep you cool.

8. Walk barefoot at home

Remove shoes and socks when possible. Letting your feet breathe helps cool your body.

9. Splash cold water on wrists and elbows

Run cold water over your wrists and inner elbows for 10 seconds to help lower your body temperature.

10. Cool your room efficiently

  • Close curtains and use heat-reflective films to block sunlight.

  • Open windows at night for ventilation and fresher air.

  • Use fans with a bowl of ice in front for instant cool air.

Conclusion

Summer doesn’t have to be miserable. Apply these summer cooling tips and make your space more comfortable every day.
