Put a fan in front of your A/C unit in your home to spread cool air around quicker.

Use witch hazel. Use cornstarch or talcum powder. Drink plenty of non-iced (as well as iced) fluids. Take a cool shower, or a cool foot bath. Wear loose clothing. Wring out a wet sheet to use at night - evaporation is cooling. A basement is always cooler. Drink more water, again! Because just getting through a hot day is an athletic event.
Use a rolled up wet towel against the back of your neck or draped over your head; especially in the car. Use a battery-operated personal fan from the dollar store if you have lost power; can be used on your car dashboard. Make an accordion-pleated hand fan. Use a dehumidifier; even though they create more heat, it gets rid of humidity and sometimes that's all it takes.
Put a small bag of ice on your feet to cool yourself off or to keep cool.
