One of the items heat transfer is dependent upon is the speed of the fluid flow of the heat sink. More flow, more heat transfer.

You are the heat source at 94F or so external temperature. Since your home is cooler, it is the heat sink. A fan increases the airflow speed, thereby increasing the heat transfer rate.

Physics says it does cool you down.
