5 ways you can stay cool this summer season like Samantha Prabhu
Summer is here and people have already started complaining about the sweltering heat and how they spend most part of the day sweating. You can't turn off the heat but you can take steps to beat it and stay cool. Here are some steps to stay cool this summer.
1.
Wear
cotton
clothes
in
place
of
silk
or
satin.
If
you
are
fond
of
silks
and
satins,
whether
it
is
wearing
them
during
the
day
or
at
night,
it
is
time
to
put
them
aside.
Take
out
your
cotton
kurtas
and
shirts
to
beat
the
summer
heat.
If
you
do
not
have
much
of
this
material
in
your
wardrobe
then
it
is
time
to
invest
in
it.
Cotton
is
a
more
breathable
material
that
allows
your
body
to
stay
cool
when
you
are
sweating.
You
will
also
notice
a
remarkable
decrease
in
sweat
itching
and
rashes
when
you
switch
to
cotton.
2.
Buy
an
efficient
AC
for
your
home
It
has
become
increasingly
difficult
to
survive
the
Indian
summer
with
just
a
fan
or
air
cooler
not
just
because
of
the
heat
but
also
because
of
the
humidity.
Your
one
stop
solution
to
this
problem
is
to
buy
an
efficient
AC
for
your
home
that
provides
not
just
cooling
but
also
helps
you
keep
your
electricity
bill
low.
Before
buying
an
AC
be
sure
to
check
the
star
rating
that
indicates
how
energy
efficient
the
AC
is.Some
other
things
that
you
can
consider
is
the
cooling
capacity,
the
size
of
the
AC
in
proportion
to
the
size
of
the
room.
You
should
consider
brands
such
as
Hitachi
to
buy
for
your
home
and
office,
which
have
always
delivered
excellent
performance
and
energy
saving
and
have
been
awarded
"Certificate
of
Merit
Award
for
Product-
Room
Air
conditioner"
by
Bureau
of
Energy
Efficiency
(BEE),
Ministry
of
Power.
3.
Keep
aloe
vera
handy
at
home
There
are
so
many
uses
of
aloe
vera
especially
during
summer
that
you
would
want
to
grow
it
at
home.
Aloe
vera
can
be
used
to
treat
sunburn
and
soothe
skin
tan.
It
can
also
be
rubbed
on
the
skin
when
you
get
bit
by
mosquitoes.
4.
Recognize
key
pressure
points
to
cool
down
your
body
Most
people
take
ice
packs
and
put
them
on
your
head
or
on
their
face
when
they
want
to
cool
down
during
the
summer
heat.
Doing
this
will
not
give
you
the
kind
of
result
you
are
looking
for.
Instead,
take
an
ice
pack
or
a
bottle
of
ice
cold
water
and
apply
it
on
your
ankles,
wrists
and
behind
the
knees.
You
will
be
amazed
at
the
instant
cool
relief
you
feel.

Samantha
Prabhu
suggests
showers
are
the
best
One
of
the
problems
people
face
during
summer
is
that
they
feel
sticky
and
dirty
because
of
the
sweat
and
dust.
The
best
solution
to
this
problem
is
to
take
a
cold
shower
when
you
get
home
in
the
evening
or
at
night.
Actress
Samantha
Prabhu
says
that
she
sleeps
really
well
after
a
cold
shower
because
her
body
relaxes
and
she
feels
clean,
which
allows
her
to
rest
and
have
a
refreshing
sleep.
