In winter we complain about the cold and we look forward to summer.

And as soon as the heat arrives, we moan because it's too hot!

Especially when you don't have air conditioning at home.

It's a constant struggle to stay hydrated, protected from the sun and to have a little place in the shade!

We would almost come to counting the days that separate us from autumn ... a shame!

Fortunately, we have selected 9 effective tips for you to cool off, even if you don't have air conditioning at home.

Simple tips to remember in the event of a heat wave! Look :

1. Frozen towels

Take small towels or washcloths and soak them in water. Wring them out and roll them in a sheet of baking paper, then place them in the freezer. Leave the towels until they are solid. You can also add a drop of essential oil for an even more relaxing experience.

2. An ice-cold fan

Fill a large bowl with ice or ice cubes and place it in front of a fan. Cool air will circulate in the room, lowering the temperature. Easy and fast, isn't it? Check out the trick here.

3. An ice bath for the feet

The feet are very sensitive to temperature. To fight against the hot heat that causes them to swell, immerse your feet in ice or cold water. This will lower your body temperature and it will be much easier to bear the heat and fall asleep afterwards. Check out the trick here.

4. Coffee ice cubes

Make your favorite coffee at home, wait for it to cool, and pour it into an ice cube tray. Put the container in the freezer for a few hours. Unmold the coffee cubes in a glass, add milk or sugar and enjoy. It also works with a good mint or lemon tea. Check out the recipe here.

5. A homemade fogger

To refresh you throughout the day, no need to buy a fogger. Do it yourself, it's more economical! For this, put cucumber slices, a lemon juice, a teaspoon of aloe vera gel and a tablespoon of rose water. Mix everything and pass the liquid through muslin to filter it. Then pour the mixture into a sprayer and put it in the fridge. All you have to do is spray on your face when you are hot. You will see, it feels so good!

6. Aloe vera

Take an aloe vera stalk from one of your plants or from a store. Press it onto your skin. Its juice has a cooling effect when applied to the skin. After a long day in the sun, it can also help soothe sun burns. If you don't have an aloe vera plant, use this 100% natural aloe vera gel.

7. A homemade fan

Use kraft paper for gifts and fold it into an accordion style. Form a circle. To make the handle, use popsicle sticks to glue on each end of the paper. There you go, your fan is ready! As soon as you are hot and there is no air conditioning, take out your fan. Very practical in the metro, for example. Check out the trick here.

8. Fruit ice cubes

Fill an ice cube tray with your favorite fruits. Pour water over it and let it freeze for a few hours. You can add these cubes to your water for a sweet and fruity flavor or just suck on these fruity cubes.

9. Sheets in the freezer

Place your sheets in the freezer for about 30 minutes before bed. Also, be sure to put on light, natural fabric sheets for the summer: cotton or linen are much cooler. Close the shutters during the day so that the heat does not enter, and make a draft as soon as the sun goes down.

Bonus: A giant ice cream for the dog

Animals are also hot during the summer! To refresh them, fill a bucket with water, chicken broth and dog treats. Put it in the freezer so that it turns into ice cream. Turn it over and place this frozen dessert on a plate. Your dogs will feast and in addition cool off at the same time. Let the ice cream melt slightly so that the tongue does not get stuck on it;) Discover the trick here.
