Feeling the effects of the dry harmattan or wet winter season on your skin yet? The dryness, cracks and dreaded flakiness can leave your skin begging for extra care.

This season calls for a routine that protects, hydrates and locks in moisture to keep your skin glowing like it does in the summer. Today we're dropping 4 tips to help you stay radiant during this time of year. 

Cleanse your way to glowy skin!

It is important to use a natural and gentle cleanser (like the R&R Shea Soap) during the winter/ harmattan to avoid stripping the skin’s natural oils which helps in moisture retention. Harsh soaps often cause skin irritation and result in dryness which can be made worse with the harsh cold/ dry weather conditions.

The power of daily moisturising 

Increasing your skin's hydration level by applying an affective emollient will lock in moisture and prevent water loss. For your body, our ultra-moisturising Shea Body Oil or Whipped Shea Body Butter is ideal for hydrating and soothing the skin. When it comes to keeping your face healthy (and glowing) try our Baobab Repair Oil to seal in moisture.

Sunscreen: your daily armour

Just a reminder!! Sun protection is crucial during this season (and every other season). A broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 should be used daily to protect your skin against UV damage, yes...even when the sun is not shining. 

 With the right products and a little extra care, your skin is bound to stay hydrated and radiant all season long. Visit our website today to shop all the essentials mentioned and keep your skin prepped for perfection!
