Cheating Nature...A woman of all Seasons





As we all know, the harmattan season is slowly setting in with its signs, from the cold to the dry, humid and dusty weather. And just like the season has changed, we also have to modify our fashion and beauty regimen.  For the next few weeks of this season, we are going to be faced with the problem of what to wear and the beauty routine to observe to survive the season. Well, we have compiled some beauty and fashion tips to beat the weather and keep you looking flawless...

Luscious Lips : with this season comes a lot of dehydration and dryness of the lips.  Here are few tips to keep your lips moisturized.
  • Gently scrub your lips while brushing or exfoliants (brown sugar and honey mixed with coconut or oilive oil or some lip friendly natural oil)  to remove dead skin and increase blood circulation.
  • Rub any of the oil above or a good lip balm on your lips if you used brush to scrub.
  • You may  also want to dump your matte lip sticks, lip balm and stains and go for  a  good lip balm, lip butter or gloss to moisturize the lips when it get dries. 
  • Avoid licking your lips this does more harm than good.
  • Drink a lot of water too.


 
 Skin Beauty: our skin is usually one of the major victims of the harmattan period. Here are a few tips to still keep your skin beautiful. 
  • Add humectants (moisture retaining substances that attract water from the atmosphere) to your skin products, a good example is Glycerin, propylene glycol, hydrolyzed silk protein, fructose.
  • Use and mix skin insulators(serum) and natural oil with your cream and bath gel; shea butter, cocoa butter, avocado oil, coconut oil,  almond and olive oil are good examples.
  •  For the light skinned ladies you have to be careful about the oil you add to your lotions or bath gels so as not to lose your complexion. Go for non greasy oil that doesn't attract dust; lemon  Oil, Vitamin E oil, carrot seed oil, emu oil, lavender oil, jasmine oil, sandal wood oil, cedar wood oil. Etc. 
  • Drink a lot of water to keep you hydrated. 
  • Do not use alcohol based cleanser as this saps all the oil and moisture in your skin. 
  • Exfoliate your skin to take out dead cells and dry skin.
  • Do not use hot water to shower because it saps your natural skin oil and moisture, rather go for  a lukewarm shower if you can't use cold water
Feet Care:  You can conceal the dry skin in other parts of your body but a dry feet would give you away.  
  •  For a good and attractive feet, scrub your feet with pumice stone or foot scrubs 
  • Rub and massage feet with coconut oil, shea butter, olive oil on it
  • You may wear socks to lock in the moisture and give you softer feet.
You may want to do this at night because some of these oils are greasy and attract dust which may make your feet darker



Fashion:  dressing during the harmattan season is a bit tricky as it is  usually cold in the morning and hotter in the afternoon.
  • The first rule is to wear what makes you comfortable. 
  • You can go for thicker outfits, long sleeves, below the knee outfits, long pants and skirts.
  • keeping a jacket, bolero and blazers  in your office or car can come in handy, this way you can  fight the cold in the morning with your jacket on, and take it off when it gets hotter in the day.

Always carry lip balm and lotion in portable containers for use in case of beauty emergency
