This period is usually associated with low humidity meaning there is very little amount of water in the atmosphere compared to other seasons of the year. As a result the weather appears harsh to our Hair and Skin.
However, we can keep our skin fresh and moisturized using these few tips below.
BODY CARE
- Use mild moisturizing soap or body bath creams.
- Invest in body oil to retain moisture on the skin after bath. Do not completely dry your skin after shower; about 10% of moisture is retained if you apply oil on damp skin. You can pour few drops of oil into water before bath if you prefer. There are bath oils available in stores which are soothing as well and give a pleasant bath experience.
- Apply moisturizing cream or lotion all over your body including your under feet. Hydrating creams and lotion are best for all skin types this season.
- Invest in a hand cream if you don’t have one and apply day and night before bed.
- Applying nail polish can help protect nails from excessive drying and hardening.
FACIAL CARE
- Use mild soaps (even if you have oily or combination skin) to wash your face as harsh soaps and cleansing bars will remove all the oil on your face and always moisturize after washing and cleansing.
- Stop the use of face facial cleansers and toners that contain alcohol or astringents. Use only mild facial cleansers and toners. Facial cleansers and toners with a neutral PH of 5.5 are best.
- LADIES: Always apply lip balm or lip salve before lipstick and if you prefer lip gloss apply after lipstick.
- GUYS: Well kept lips makes you appear groomed. So invest in a lip balm or lip salve for a non glossy moisturized lip.
HAIR CARE
- Wash hair with shampoo and conditioner as usual.
- Apply hair oils, lotions and creams to hair daily or every other day depending on hair type and severity of the weather. 100% coconut oils are preferable.
- Avoid using hair spirits, gels and strong hair hold. Mild styling mousse can be used for styling in their stead.
- Use hair sprays to add shine to your hair.
- Scarves and hats are amazing accessories that can be used to protect hair and still be fashionable.
Use this tips during this dry season and your skin will appear fresher and moisturized all day, every day.
