Dry skin in Nigeria has a very specific enemy: harmattan season. The dry, dusty winds that sweep through from November to February strip moisture fast, leaving skin tight, flaky, and prone to irritation — even for people who don't consider themselves 'dry-skinned' the rest of the year.

The right routine for dry skin isn't complicated, but it does need the right order of operations: gentle cleansing that doesn't strip further, layered hydration, and a rich moisturizer that actually seals it all in.

We stock the essentials for a proper dry-skin routine — from gentle cleansers to ceramide-rich creams built for exactly this kind of climate stress.

Especially built for harmattan months.

Gentle, Non-Foaming Cleanser

Harsh foaming cleansers can strip already-dry skin further — look for hydrating or cream-based formulas.

Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Layer this on slightly damp skin to draw in extra hydration before moisturizing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my skin get so much drier during harmattan?

The dry, dusty winds of harmattan season significantly lower humidity, pulling moisture from your skin faster than usual — even skin that's normally balanced can turn dry and flaky during these months.

Should I switch my entire routine for harmattan season?

Many people do — swapping a lighter lotion for a richer cream, and adding a hydrating serum layer, rather than overhauling everything.

Can I still use active ingredients like vitamin C if my skin is dry?

Yes, but pay attention to how your skin responds — dry skin can be more prone to irritation, so introduce actives gradually and always follow with a rich moisturizer.

Is petroleum jelly good for very dry, flaky skin?

It can help seal in moisture as an occlusive, but it doesn't hydrate on its own — it works best applied over a hydrating serum or moisturizer, not alone.

How often should I exfoliate dry skin?

Less than you might think — over-exfoliating dry skin can worsen flakiness and irritation. Once or twice a week with a gentle exfoliant is usually enough.
