Harmattan Stronger than Ever?

Harmattan is upon us and with it all the abundant problems for our skin and hair. I decided to travel back to my home town and the harmattan here is in full swing. Dry skin, lips,hair breakage, and even extremely dry nostrils are common atm.
But not to worry. Following these tips will make you stay on top
of your game :-) .

SKIN
Dry achy skin can be so unattractive, so the
importance of moisture cannot be over-
emphasized. Even oily skin requires moisturizer.
Remove dirt and makeup with a mild cleanser,
stay away from harsh astringents that strip the
skin of much needed moisture.
Nourish your skin with post shower with rich but
light body butter, cocoa butter or Shea butter,
baby oil gel and tissue oil and even local
Coconut oil are also ideal for dry weather. These
will not leave a greasy feel.
Scrub your body with mild soap this season, a
body scrub promotes good circulation and clear
skin tone.
And of course, drinking a lot of water will flush
the body of toxins and keep skin bright and
beautiful.
Shaving with cold water is also advisable during
hot weather it minimizes the chance of cuts and
wounds, apply a little lotion to your skin before
shaving foam. A brand new razor gives better
glide over skin and is less likely to require much
pressure that can result in nicks and cuts.
Aftershave dat contains alcohol further dry out
the skin. Mild lotion like aloe vera gel or baby
oil or coconut oil will do the magic

HAIR
A healthy head of hair can suffer during
harmattan. Plaiting is hair saver for women. If
possible make your hair chemical free this season.

Adding extentions will extend the life span of the
hairstyle and serve as extra protection. Moisture
is also needed for air during Harmattan. Natural kinks,Braids,weaves,
and dreadlocks need moisture. This can be done by spritzing hair with water to where the length of your hair ends. Apply a light coat
of hair serum or oil sheen for extra gloss and sealing but
steer clear of heavy pomades. They only attract
all that harmattan dust. A regular condition mask
is recommended for men and women as hair risk
breakage when d weather is dry!

DOs and DONTs
Do always remember to moisturize the often-
neglected skin between fingers and toes. Keep a jar
or bottle of hand cream or petroleum jelly within
close reach at all times.

Don't lick your lips during harmattan no matter
how tempting! Instead use a lip balm to prevent
cracking and bleeding.

Breathe through your nose. Breathing through
your mouth will cause moisture from your lips to
evaporate.

Remember the back of your ears, moisturize it
to prevent cracking and bleeding.

Clothes
With the harmattan season comes a lot of cold. So when dressing up, you might want to wear clothes that are fashionable but also provide protection. For the ladies you might want to go with this season by wearing maxi full length skirts  and also pants (trousers) ofcourse. This would prove to be handy when you forget your moisturizers and no one has to see the dryness of your skin ;-)
For the guys well, y'all don't really have much problems. You just do your thing and ensure you moisturize regularly.

Yes! Water is Good for You and Me!

Take care of your skin and hair by drinking water {Health} Hey Y'All..... Today, I am gonna talk about how to get a beautiful skin and hair by drinking right amount of water. Drinking water is very important for our body. It, not only, effects our body functioning, but also, how we look. I know I sound like a tape recorder. But, you would be surprised to know that lot of people know this fact, but do not take the pains to follow it. Even, I get lazy many times to get up and refill the bottle but anyway.... Have you ever noticed your skin is dull when you have not had water the whole day or even for some hours. Yes, not drinking water, even for some hours, affects our body functions adversely. Our body is made 70% of water and the cells need water for every reaction they want to carry on. Thus, water is an essential ingredient. Try to increase your intake by one glass every day. It would help you look good, your hair would be healthy and your eyes will be bright. The water will eliminate all the toxins from your body. You can determine whether you are drinking enough water by the color of your urine. If it is dark yellow, you really need to perk on your system with water. You are drinking enough water when it is colorless. Still, no harm in increasing the quantity. Much of the water is lost through evaporation from the pores. So, do not worry about your numerous trips to the loo. They would be pretty less in summer. But, in winter, you have to bear the brunt of going to the loo a lot of times, if you really want your skin to look good. Because, the air in winter is dry and it takes moisture from your skin. Hence, the skin dries up and becomes dull. Not only skin, but even, our hair is made up 5% of water and 95% protein. So, to keep hair in a beautiful condition, you need to drink lots and lots of water. It will keep your hair alive and bouncy. Not only that, water stimulates hair growth. If you are facing hair loss, try adjusting the levels of water in your body and you may experience a miracle. For healthy hair growth,it is important because the hair gets moisturized from the inside by drinking enough water even as you apply your fav products on the outside.The hair follicles are hence,healthy on the inside before hair grows out. Want to lose weight? Drink water. Yes, its true. It dissolves much of the fat of the body and eliminates it in form of toxins. If you do not like the bland taste of water, you can go for coconut water or fill your bottle with green tea. They both are equally good for your skin, hair and weight. Lot of talk. Now, coming to the practical stuff, do not ever wait to feel thirsty. Drink water every half hour according to your limit.This will ensure your needs are satisfied. Now, I wanted to talk about situations when we really need to look good but can not drink water. It may be due to lack of water or lack of loos. Yes, people refrain from drinking water because there are no washrooms in the immediate vicinity. It happens to people who work all day on the fields. Not the farms or any crop field, but, I meant about those who do the ground work in their areas or during long travels in buses. For those days, you can carry a large spray bottle filled with floral water, lemon water or green tea and spray the water on your face in regular intervals. The floral water, lemon water or green tea rejuvenates your skin and will not spoil your make up too. You might be thinking that I did not advise you to use wipes. They are more portable. Yes, they are designed for travel. But, they are extremely drying for the skin. Alcohol is used as a preservative in them. And, they leave a film on the skin which is pretty sticky. And, beware it does not suit every one. So, use spraying water as an alternative. A tip: Mix moisturizer with 2-3 drops of filtered water and then, apply it on the face. Doing this would retain water content in the skin. And, keep it supple all day long. Feed lots and lots of water in every way you can to your body.Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
