Some more products are listed below; all of the items are inexpensive and help maintain body temperature in spite of outdoor conditions.

Hammacher.com has developed an evaporating cooling cap that can keep the wearer 30 degrees cooler than the outside temperature. S olumbra.com markets a clothing line that provides protection from the sun; although the long-sleeved garments may look stuffy, they are extremely breathable and cool.

Several cosmetic products are also making a splash; Toofaced.com’s frozen lotion is one of the company’s best-selling products, and provides a quick topical chill. Prescriptives.com also sells bronzer that is heat-resistant, won’t cake or run in the sun, and adds a sun-kissed glow to skin.

Finally, Sea Breeze made the list as a cooling agent, though it is actually an astringent. Whoopi has long advocated a method of making homemade cooling cloths by dipping towels in Sea Breeze.
