3 Simple Ways to Cool Off Your Skin This Summer

Between heat, UV exposure, and daily stressors, your skin can feel warm, inflamed, or irritated—especially during summer months. At Skin Junkies Studio, we recommend simple but powerful ways to cool down, protect, and heal your skin: sunscreen, icing, and Lumion Life Hypochlorous Acid Spray.

1. Sunscreen: Your First Line of Defense

Cooling off your skin starts with prevention. Sunscreen protects against UVA and UVB rays that cause sunburn, inflammation, and long-term damage like collagen breakdown. Research shows that consistent sunscreen use not only prevents photoaging but also reduces the risk of heat-related flare-ups like melasma and rosacea. [Source]

We recommend applying a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning, even on cloudy days. Our client favorites are:

Skin Junkies Tinted SPF – Lightweight coverage + sun protection in one.
Skin Junkies Sheer SPF – Invisible, non-greasy protection for all skin types.

2. Icing: Instant Relief for Inflammation

When your skin feels flushed or irritated, icing can provide immediate relief. Applying a clean ice roller or wrapped ice cube constricts blood vessels, reducing redness, puffiness, and post-treatment inflammation. Studies suggest cryotherapy can help improve circulation and accelerate skin healing. [Source]

Pro tip: Keep an ice roller in your freezer and use it in the morning to calm skin and depuff under-eyes. Here is our Amazon favorite ice rollers.

3. Lumion Life Hypochlorous Acid Spray: Heal & Hydrate

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps fight bacteria and inflammation. [Source] The Lumion Life Hypochlorous Acid Spray harnesses this science to soothe irritation, reduce redness, and promote healing—all while cooling and hydrating the skin.

It’s perfect post-sun, after workouts, or anytime your skin feels overheated or stressed.

Putting It All Together

Healthy, glowing skin isn’t just about treatments—it’s about daily care and small habits. By applying sunscreen every day, reaching for an ice roller when your skin feels warm, and spritzing Lumion Life Hypochlorous Acid Spray to soothe and protect, you’ll keep your skin cool, calm, and radiant no matter the season.
