If your traditional cleanser just isn't cutting it, reach for Clinique's gel formula ($20; clinique.com) to whisk away even the most waterproof mascaras and leave your skin refreshed.

Shaveworks The Cool Fix Gel Lotion

Confession time: Although this gel ($25; sephora.com) is meant to soothe razor burn on your legs, underarms, and bikini line, we've taken to using it as regular body lotion. We love how the lightweight formula doesn't get sticky in the humid air, while helping to minimize ingrown hairs and irritation.

Did too much time at the beach leave you with a burn? Restore the moisture lost at sea with a dollop of Korres' After-Sun Gel ($24; korresusa.com), which incorporates a generous dose of yoghurt in its formula to instantly soothe sensitive areas.

We love storing this invigorating blend of mint, apple blossom, and oakmoss ($48; nestfragrances.com) in the fridge before spritzing it on to amp up its chill factor.

A splash of water is a quick way to cool off-and mess up your makeup if you aren't careful. Luckily, MAC's innovative loose powder ($30; nordstrom.com) allows you to chill out while keep your contouring skills intact.

Burberry's creme blush ($38; burberry.com) may create a believeable glow, but you'll feel anything but flushed thanks to its refreshing formula, which uses 50% water to impart an instant refreshing feeling on contact.

A full-on smoky eye can be fussy in the middle of summer, but a stay-put creme formula like Laura Geller's ($19; laurageller.com) creates the same effect in just one swipe.

Urban Decay Chill Makeup Setting Spray

In addition to the icy feeling it imparts, we also love how Urban Decay's setting spray ($30; sephora.com) keeps our makeup from melting off in 100-degree temps.

No need to crank up the air-Peter Thomas Roth's hydrating mask ($45; peterthomasroth.com) will leave you feeling cool as a cucumber, as nourishing ingredients like chamomile, papaya, and aloe help to soothe irritated skin.
