In Nigeria, we have two main seasons—dry and rainy—but each affects your skin differently. Adjusting your skincare routine throughout the year helps prevent breakouts, dryness, and dullness.
Rainy Season (April–October):
- Problem: Increased humidity can cause clogged pores and oiliness.
- What to do: Use a lightweight moisturizer and a clarifying toner. Exfoliate once a week to prevent acne.
Dry Season (November–March):
- Problem: Harmattan can cause flaky, dry, ashy skin.
- What to do: Layer hydrating products like body butter, facial oils, and thick creams. Don’t forget lip balm!
All-Year Essentials:
- Sunscreen is a must—even when it’s cloudy.
- Drink water and eat fruits like watermelon and cucumber.
- Avoid sleeping with makeup no matter how tired you are.
Your skin needs change with the season—adjust your routine, not just your wardrobe!
