Why are evaporation and melting both considered to be cooling processes?

Water will evaporate faster if you apply heat to it. Ice will melt faster if you apply heat to it. Both processes absorb heat, and use it to undergo a phase change. Even if you don't apply heat to water, it absorbs heat, or cools, as it evaporates, which you can know by putting room temperature water on your skin and feel the cooling effect as it evaporates. The same is true with ice.
