Harmattan is a season period that usually occurs from late November to end of February.


It comes with windy, dusty, cold and dry atmosphere that makes an individual looks weird if not properly managed.

I have compiled some on how you can effectively manage the harmattan season.



BATHE WITH WARM WATER

During this harmattan period, the atmosphere will be extremely cold depending on where you reside. It is recommended to bath with warm water to curtail the excessive cold the body is exposed to.

MOISTURIZE THE BODY

Harmattan season has a way of making the body look dry and white in which it can break the skin especially for those having dry skin. The best way to keep the body moisturized is to apply recommended cream or pomade immediately after taking your bath so the body can stay moisturized. This method works very effectively.

STAY HYDRATED

Harmattan period as earlier said is a dry season and anyone in that area needs to stay hydrated because thirst becomes the order of the day. I recommend taking lukewarm water in a drinking bottle if you going on a long journey.

WATCH OUT FOR THE LIPS

During this harmattan period, the lips becomes dry and tends to break if not properly maintained. Apply moisturizing Pomade or ‘Lips gloss’ to moisturize the lips and keep it from breaking.

EAT FATTY FOOD

This may sound strange because of the recommendation of fatty food. Fatty food during this period helps a lot to moisturize the body. Harmattan season makes scales shows on the body but fatty acid helps to moisturize it.

CONCLUSION

Keeping our body healthy during this period goes a long way in keeping us alive and well.
