If you have ever walked in Yerevan during the hot season, you have felt the heat of the city. The sun pounds down on the streets, and even a short walk leaves your skin sticky and overwarm.
Over the years, I have learned that one of the simplest things to do to feel comfortable is to care for your skin in a way that actively cools and revives it.
So, let’s have a closer look at how to take care of the skin and keep it cool and refreshed during the hot weather.
Why Cooling Body Washes Matter
Even if you water ad nauseam, dry air, the sun’s heat, and sun exposure can still cause your skin to be tight and chafed. A normal shower might remove sweat, but it does not bring that instant cool relief that comforts you.
That is where gentle, cooling body washes come in. Ingredients like eucalyptus are naturally soothing, helping calm heat-exposed skin while leaving it fresh.

Eucalyptus Body Wash: My Go-To
I’ve started using Eucalyptus Body Wash, available at MoodMineral online store, after long, hot days around the city. The scent alone is refreshing, and the gentle formula leaves my skin feeling calm and hydrated, not dry or tight.
You can find it online and in the MoodMineral Yerevan store. Just a few minutes under warm water with this wash makes a noticeable difference in how my skin feels – and it is light enough for everyday use.
A Simple Evening Routine
Here’s how I use it to combat Yerevan’s summer heat:
- Rinse Off – Start with lukewarm water to remove sweat and dust;
- Cleanse Gently – Massage Eucalyptus Body Wash over skin, paying attention to areas exposed to sun and friction;
- Pat Dry – Avoid rubbing; it helps retain hydration;
- Light Moisturizer – Follow with a thin layer of body milk if your skin feels dry.
Even a 10-minute routine like this leaves my skin feeling fresh, comfortable, and ready for evening walks or rooftop dinners.
To make this routine even more effective here are some extra tips to consider:
- Short showers work best: Keep in mind that long hot showers can dry skin out, so consider taking short showers;
- Eucalyptus is cooling for skin as well; the scent can make you feel invigorated and awake after a hot day;
- Nighttime routines are superior to morning-only routines; skin renews itself during sleep.
Final Thoughts
Yerevan summers are pleasant, but the sun is unforgiving to your skin. A cool body wash like Eucalyptus Body Wash makes post-sun showers a ritual, not a necessity.
Soothing cleanse, with gentle hydration, leaves skin comfortable, hydrated, and, of course, ready to soak up whatever the city has to give – from sunset strolls to golden-hour views over the streets.
