HARMATTAN BEAUTY MUST-HAVES


My brothers and sisters, the Meme has said it all...
Winter is coming (In John Snow's voice). For those of us that do not rub body creams especially the guys, you will agree with me that the harmattan season is a great exposer of flaked skin. So please to avoid such embarrassment, y'all need to chill and have below must-haves or else trust me you'll look worse than the picture below.



HARMATTAN MUST-HAVES

  • LIP BALM : A deep conditioning lip balm is essential to prevent dry, cracked and blistering lips. Ensure you apply lip balm and carry it with you to re-apply throughout the day and for the ladies apply it before your lipstick. After all, who wants to kiss a chapped lip.#Justsaying
  • BODY SCRUB : This season calls for regular exfoliation. To get rid of old flaky skin, use a gentle body scrub at least twice a week.
  • BODY LOTION : During these dry months, it is advisable that you switch up your regular body lotion to something a little more intense or add some oil to your regular lotion. For me, I use coconut oil. You want to keep your skin as moisturised as possible to prevent white, flaky skin and ashy knees/elbow.
  • HAND CREAM : Our hands are one of the most affected parts of the body in dry season. Keep yours extra supple by investing in a good quality hand cream. Carry it with you to constantly moisturise.
  • HAIR MOISTURISER : Your hair will require extra moisture too. Apply a moisturising treatment daily to keep hair looking beautiful and healthy.
  • VITAMIN C : Load up on Vitamin C containing fruits to boost your immune system or have at least 70mg-100mg in supplements everyday.
Have a happy Harmattan season!
