- Swap out your body lotion for frozen coconut oil.
When it’s in the triple digits outside, even regular body lotion can feel too heavy and thick. For a light, ridiculously refreshing alternative, try frozen coconut oil instead. Just fill a shallow ice tray with coconut oil, store in the freezer, and pop out a cube after taking a cold shower. Your body heat will melt it down quickly, giving you a refreshing cool-down while deeply moisturizing your skin. As an added bonus, the smell will make you feel like you’re on a tropical vacation — always a welcome contrast to the reality of a 5th floor apartment with a broken air conditioner. Oh summer, never change.
