Dry Season Skin Challenge: How to Keep Your Skin Healthy During Harmattan

As the harmattan winds begin to blow, bringing with them a noticeable drop in humidity, our skin often bears the brunt of the changing weather. The dry season can be a tough time for skin, leading to dryness, flakiness, and irritation. But don’t worry, with the right care routine, you can keep your skin soft, healthy, and glowing all season long.

1. Moisturise Regularly
Your skin loses moisture quickly during the harmattan because of low humidity. Applying a rich moisturizer immediately after bathing helps lock in hydration. Choose creams or ointments containing glycerin, petroleum jelly, or shea butter — these ingredients form a protective barrier that keeps your skin smooth and supple throughout the day.

2. Avoid Hot Baths
Hot water might feel comforting in the cool weather, but it strips away your skin’s natural oils, leaving it dry and flaky. Instead, opt for lukewarm water when bathing, and pat your skin dry gently before applying moisturizer.

3. Stay Hydrated
It’s easy to drink less water when the weather is cool, but your body still needs hydration. Drinking enough water helps maintain skin elasticity and prevents dryness from within. Aim for at least 6–8 glasses of water daily to support your skin’s moisture balance and overall health.

4. Soothe Irritation with Tempovate
