Lip Balm 

The lips are easily chapped and may lead to ugly blisters.

Body oil

The harmattan is cold and breezy can leave your skin cracked and ashy. During this period, moisture is lost from the skin faster than usual hence to ensure a healthy skin, it is wise to keep your body oil close as it comes handy. Coconut oil is usually a go-to at times like this, It helps in moisturising the skin and hair. You can either pour a few drops in your bathing water or mix it with my body cream.

The weather causes your skin to be really dry which may eventually make it appear dull. You need regular exfoliation at least twice a week to get rid of dead cells that will accumulate on your skin so as to keep ones skin glowing and full of life.
