Harmattan is the very dry, dusty easterly or north-easterly wind on the West African coast, occurring from December to February.
The season usually comes with severe cold and has always been an inevitable period in human life, just as other seasons are in existence, hence, the need for every individual to properly care for both young and old.
In most cases, people tend to focus on what to wear to cover their bodies well against the excessive cold but, consciously and unconsciously leave out their lips to suffer the cold which then causes them to experience chapped, cracked or dry lips from time to time.
A lot of people rely on using their saliva to moisturize their lips which usually is not enough to keep the lips hydrated.
One of the ways to keep your lips hydrated is to drink an appropriate amount of water and healthy fluids.
The amount of water an individual needs vary, so monitor the colour of your urine as drinking lots of water will help your lips and body look amazing.
The use of moisturizing creams (or should I say lip balms) is also advised to help keep the lips hydrated, soft, smooth and beautiful and avoid cracked lips.
There are several types of balms available in different flavours, shades and colours, try to avoid the ones filled with a bunch of chemicals but go for those with natural ingredients like honey, shea butter, coconut oil, almond, olive oil, e.t.c.
Ensuring that your lips are moisturised would help guard against getting them chapped or cracked, which would go a long way in making the season an enjoyable one.
