3 Ways to Keep Cool This Summer (Body, Mind & Skin!)

When summer finally arrives, we’re ready for lighter clothes, longer evenings and a cheeky rosé in the garden. But for many midlife women, the heat can dial up more than just the temperature. Hot flushes, interrupted sleep, mood swings, and general feelings of “ugh” can become even more intense.

So how do we stay cool, calm, and collected when our inner thermostat is playing tricks?

Here are 3 soothing, supportive ways to stay cool this summer—inside and out.

1. Facial Cooling Rituals – Your Skin Will Thank You

Your face carries a lot of heat, stress and emotion—especially around the jaw, forehead, and cheeks. This summer, treat your skin to cooling touch with facial massage tools like Gua Sha or chilled rollers (store them in the fridge!). Not only does this help with puffiness and inflammation, but it also supports lymphatic drainage, easing the heavy, “tired face” feeling.

You can also book in for a deeply restorative Zone Face Lift or Gua Sha facial—you’ll leave glowing, grounded, and noticeably cooler. Yes please!

2. Hydrate More Mindfully – It’s Not Just About Water

We all know hydration is key—but it’s not just about guzzling water. Your body absorbs hydration from fresh, fibre-rich fruits (like cucumber, melon and berries), cooling herbal teas (peppermint is your summer friend), and slowing down while you eat and drink.

Dehydration increases brain fog, irritability and—guess what—hot flushes. A cool, refreshing tip? Start your day with warm water, a slice of lemon, and a moment of stillness before you scroll.

3. Book in for a Reset – Because You Deserve It

If your body is crying out for balance, a treatment in the JLW room could be the loving pause you need. Reflexology helps regulate temperature, ease anxiety, calm the nervous system and release heat from the body—especially from the feet, which are often forgotten!

Whether you're deep in perimenopause or just feeling the effects of summer stress, you don’t have to suffer through it. Your body wants to feel cool, calm and supported.

Let this be your gentle nudge: book the treatment. Give yourself that well-earned reset.
