It’s that time of the year when the Nigerian sky plays peek-a-boo with the sun, and the air has you questioning if you’ve accidentally wandered into the Sahara Desert. One thing’s certain: this Harmattan is as unpredictable as Lagos traffic.
Harmattan also signals that the yuletide season is upon us! From Christmas décor to gifts for loved ones, this is the time to gear up for the most wonderful time of the year. It also reminds us why moisturizing and layering clothes should be national pastimes.
So, as we embrace the chilly mornings and dusty winds, it’s time to prepare for the season like true Nigerians. Here are Harmattan Survival Essentials to help you stay cozy, clean, and Christmas-ready.
Moisturizers and Lip Balm
The Harmattan breeze can turn your skin into a dry, flaky canvas if you’re not careful. A rich moisturizer and lip balm are your best friends. Look for products that contain shea butter, cocoa butter, or aloe vera to keep your skin hydrated and your lips kissably soft. Check out these deals from NIVEA.
Layered Clothing
Morning chills demand sweaters, but the sun will have you sweating buckets by afternoon. Dress smart: light layers you can easily remove as the day warms up. Invest in cozy cardigans, hoodies, and socks for those cold evenings.
Water, Water, and More Water
Harmattan is the ultimate hydration thief. Always carry a bottle of water with you to keep your body refreshed and your skin glowing.
Dust-Proof Your Space
Dust is the uninvited guest this season. Stock up on dusters, cleaning supplies, and air purifiers to keep your home and workspace clean. If you’re outdoors, a face mask isn’t just for harmattan haze—it’s also a barrier against dust storms.
Fragrances for the Win
Harmattan air can make you feel stale, so a good body spray or perfume is non-negotiable. Smell fresh and festive by choosing long-lasting scents that cut through the dry air.
Health Essentials
Dusty winds increase the risk of allergies and respiratory issues. Keep a stash of mentholated balms, nasal sprays, and over-the-counter meds for relief. For parents, remember petroleum jelly to keep the kids’ nostrils moisturized.
