5 Tips for Keeping Your Skin Healthy & Glowing During Harmattan
Harmattan season is here, bringing with it dry, dusty winds and a significant drop in humidity. While the cool mornings and hazy skies are charming, the harsh weather can leave your skin dry, flaky, and irritated. But don’t worry—BellaNaija Style is here with a detailed guide to keeping your skin nourished, hydrated, and glowing all season long: 1. Stay Hydrated Inside and Out Harmattan air tends to sap moisture from the skin, leaving it parched. To combat this, drink plenty of water throughout the day. Herbal teas and fruits with high water content like watermelon and oranges, can also help keep you hydrated. For external hydration, consider using a humidifier at home or placing a bowl of water in your room to increase the air’s moisture level. 2. Upgrade Your Moisturizer Switch to thicker, oil-based moisturizers that provide a protective barrier against the dry air. Look for ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, glycerin, or hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate your skin. Apply immediately after a bath to lock in moisture, and don’t forget to reapply on particularly dry areas like your hands, elbows, and feet throughout the day. You can even wear socks and gloves overnight for added hydration. […] The post 5 Tips for Keeping Your Skin Healthy & Glowing During Harmattan appeared first on BN Style.
