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 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.
