Harmattan season

Harmattan is a season that occurs in West Africa towards the end of the year up until the first few months of the next year.

It is characterized by dry and dusty winds alongside cold weather.

During harmattan our skin tends to get dry and sometimes itchy by virtue of the dryness. The dryness can lead to breakage of skin, itchiness, dullness of the skin and sometimes irritation of the skin.

We’re approaching the harmattan season now, so it’s important for us to take steps to protect and care for our skin.

Using a soap or cleanser that adds moisture back into the skin is the first essential step in fighting the dryness of harmattan, followed by using a moisturizer or body/face oil rich in vitamin c and essential oils in order to properly keep your skin nourished. Let’s not forget that our lips also need protection from the harsh dryness of the season, no one enjoys having cracked lips and blisters so lip balm is a must have!

We have our cold press soaps that add moisture back into the skin, our body balms that are formulated with essential oils and key ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, mango butter and so much more to moisturize, hydrate and give you radiant looking skin.
