Before trying out any thing for your skin, the first step really is to know your type of skin. There are four types of skin. We have , 1. Dry skin, 2. Oily skin, 3. Combination skin, and then 4.Sensitive skin
These are the four basic skin types we have and knowing them will go a long way in ensuring you get the best results in your skin treatment and not use products meant for another skin type on your skin.
We will progressively propose tips for keeping each skin type glowing in the harmattan. Let's look at the dry skin type first
Dry Skin - If you have dry skin, then stick with a body cream that has an emphasis on moisturizing. Get a cream that has Vitamin E . It'll help in keeping your skin glowing. Carry it around in your bag so you can use it when you need to.
Also, DON'T use bar soap while bathing Bar soap tends to remove a lot of oil on the skin and will make it look parched. Use instead liquid soap and scrub lightly. Infact, you should only scrub once a day.
Use eye cream. An oil based eye cream rubbed around the eyes will pop out the face which will transcend to the face.
Incorporate in your diet fruits and food items rich in Vitamins e and a and rich in water.
As always, every dermatologist will tell you. The number one factor in getting glowing skin, is to drink lots of water. For the harmattan, you should drink even more! It's the perfect hydration for your skin!
Normal skin - This skin type is the most suited for the dry season but it still needs to be tended to get that perfect glow.
A moisturizer mixed along with your daily cream should work just fine. Bar soap is not advisable. Stick with a liquid soap fortified with vitamin e. You could bath more than once but still scrub lightly.
It cannot be overemphasized. Drink lots of water! Fruits with fluid will also help.
Oily Skin - For people with this skin type, good regular baths, lots of water, mildly mosturozed body cream (matte) .Don't use a highly mosturized cream as it could result to acne for your face.
Combination Skin - With people with this skin type, the face could be oily while the body dry. So, follow the same steps for dry skin if your skin is dry but be careful with your face. Plenty moisture can cause acne.
During the dry season, a balanced diet filled with food items good for the skin.
A good lip balm should be everybody's best friend, male and female alike because parched and broken lips will turn off people and mosturized lips will pop out the face and you'll look glowing.
