Yeah,am back and reigning in dominion,missed you all,thank you to everyone who sent in messages asking of me I appreciate you. Straight to the topic of the day.
In Nigeria, harmattan is responsible for ushering Christmas and new year. I’m pretty sure you agree with me on that, right?
Just in case you don’t know what harmattan is. It’s the chilly season
of the year characterized by dry and dusty wind, usually between
December and February.
Anyway, it’s December and a good number of us expect (or anticipate) the harmattan already.
However, as much as we love this season because it brings memories of
Christmas, new year and the holidays, there are certain things we need
to do to keep ourselves healthy all season long, should the weather get
really harsh
1. Stay hydrated.
Because harmattan is a really dry season, it’s important to keep
ourselves hydrated all day long by drinking enough water every now and
then. This will help keep your skin moist and refreshed.
2. Don’t forget to moisturize
Your skin and your lips need moisture during harsh weathers like this and one way to achieve that is by moisturizing it.Moisturizing your skin (especially with essential oils like coconut
oil, shea butter, petroleum jelly and the likes) will not only leave you
looking fresh but keep your skin and lips from cracking which could
lead to sores.
3.Avoid face cleansers/toners with alcohols ,
Products like face cleansers, hand wash and the likes with alcohol or
astringents can damage the skin especially during dry seasons like
harmattan because this will strip your skin off its natural oils and
cause dehydration.Opt for products with neutral pH of about 5.5 and be sure to moisturize your face or hands after using them.
4.Take a lot of Vitamin C
Taking fruits like oranges, strawberries, tomatoes and the likes which
are rich in Vitamin C will help keep your skin fresh and prevent
sneezing and catarrh.
5.Stay away from soft drinks during harmattan
Although, at a time like this, it’s almost impossible to do away with
the soft drinks especially when everyone around you can’t seem to get
their hands off one. But guess what, it’s absolutely possible.Soft drinks dehydrate you and make your skin get dry really fast but
if you’re really craving sweet drinks, you can try taking healthy drinks
like Zobo, Kunu, Fura de nono and the likes.
