The harmattan is here again, bringing with it chilly mornings, dusty winds, and dry air that can wreak havoc on your skin. During this season, it’s common to experience dryness, flakiness, and even irritation. But don’t worry—proper care can keep your skin healthy and hydrated all season long. Omenma Hotels want you to arrive at our doorstep looking as exotic as you have always been so here are some tip you may find useful.
1. Stay Hydrated
Dry skin often starts from within. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Herbal teas and fruit-infused water are great alternatives if plain water feels boring.
2. Use a Gentle Cleanser
Switch to a mild, moisturizing cleanser that won’t strip your skin of its natural oils. Avoid harsh soaps and opt for products with hydrating ingredients like glycerin or aloe vera.
3. Moisturize Immediately
After washing your face or taking a shower, apply a thick moisturizer while your skin is still damp. Look for products with ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, or hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture.
4. Protect Your Skin with Oils
Natural oils like coconut oil, almond oil, or jojoba oil provide an extra layer of protection against the harmattan’s drying effects. Apply them to your skin after moisturizing for maximum benefit.
5. Avoid Overexposure to Dust
The harmattan’s dusty winds can irritate your skin. Wear protective clothing, use a scarf, or apply a light barrier cream if you’ll be outdoors for extended periods.
6. Invest in a Humidifier
The harmattan air is notoriously dry, even indoors. A humidifier can help add moisture back into the air, preventing your skin from drying out further.
With these simple steps, you can enjoy the beauty of the harmattan season without worrying about dry, uncomfortable skin. Stay consistent with your skincare routine, and your skin will thank you! ✨
