Combating Harmattan
Written by Ruth Olurounbi Sunday, 22 January 2012
In response to tons of request on what product to apply on the body during this harmattan season, here are some you might find appropriate for your skin tone. Enjoy
Shadow
Looking for a way to keep your arms and legs smooth? Try Space NK, the London-based beauty apothecary founded by It Brit Nicky Kinnaird. Whether you go for Bloomsbury, Brideshead, or the Balfour, each mini-collection includes a skin-friendly, triple-milled bar soap with moisturising Shea butter!
Hair
Your hair deserves extra TLC during shower-time especially during the dry harmattan months. Coat your locks with Sans' new Nourishing Hair Hydratant Ultra+, a creamy conditioner enriched with avocado lipids and hibiscus extract to smooth the cuticle.
Almond Cookie
Give skin a nourishing overnight treat with the new Almond Cookie Shea Soufflé from Carol’s Daughter. The rich concoction was formulated with scaly legs and arms in mind, and contains vitamin E, essential oils, and cocoa and Shea butters to repair crocodile skin.
Blush
You like a little sparkle, don't you? Well, with By Terry's new shimmery powder blushes (the brand previously only offered matte and cream versions) you can maintain a healthy glow wherever you go. The best part about the glimmering Sexy Plum and Torrid Peach shades is that they boast a generous helping of vitamins A, C, and E to protect cheeks from free radical damage.
Clinique
The ultra-emollient in Clinique's Almost Lipstick formula goes on smoothly and leaves just the right amount of sheer colour on the lips. Asides the classic Black Honey shade, Almost Lipstick emerges better than ever with seven yes, seven! New hues to choose from.
White Cloud Spot Corrector, Cane
If dark spots are your major problem, White Cloud Spot Corrector, launched by Skyn Iceland, might be your best friend. The solution is infused with natural lighteners like vitamins A and C, licorice, and tree bark extract. You could also try Cane + Austin’s new Retexturing Cream. It contains glycolic acid which helps to exfoliate and brighten, besides its protective green tea and nourishing vitamins.
