The
current harmattan season, with its cool and dry weather, is often
considered a reprieve from the wet and soggy feel of the rainy season. For
individuals who are particular about their appearance, it is during
this the period that they take the utmost care in preventing the
dryness that accompanies the harmattan from chapping their skin.
So, while you go on adventures in coastal cities around Nigeria or
travel home for the Christmas, remember to keep these tips Jovago.com,
Africa’s No 1 hotel booking portal has put together close to heart in
order to achieve a glowing look this season.
Stay away from the sun
If you want a smooth skin, exposing yourself to the sun should be a rare occurrence.
Regular
exposure to the sun causes wrinkles, spots and other skin problems
including skin cancer. You can use sunscreen and wear protective
clothing. So, when next you travel for that getaway, do not forget your
sunscreen.
Quit smoking
Smoking
is naturally not good for the body as addicts are liable to heart
diseases. For the skin, the constant intake of nicotine makes the skin
appear older as it shrinks tiny blood vessels and reduces blood flow. If
you want to look better, this is one habit you should not indulge in.
Treat your skin gently
Using
harsh chemicals on your skin will gradually strip it of it natural
protective layer leaving you vulnerable to diseases. Hence, try as much
as possible to use mild soaps, cream and cleansers on daily and avoid
bathing with hot water as much as you can.
Manage stress
The
work environment in Nigeria is quite stressful. It is even worse for
married couples who have kids. Stress management is important in every
area of your health and your skin is not left out. For a calm and rested
look, take a break by spending the night at a great hotel like this one here and keep the stress away.
Moisturize your skin always
This
is one of the best ways to counter the effect of the harmattan. The
dryness makes the skin haggard and unattractive but with regular oiling,
you are on your way to having a glowing body.
