Protect Your Lips
Chapped lips are a common issue during harmattan. Use a lip balm or petroleum jelly to keep your lips moisturized. Consider carrying one with you to reapply as needed.
Dress in Layers
The harmattan mornings can be chilly, while the afternoons can become warmer. Dressing in layers allows you to adjust your clothing accordingly and stay comfortable throughout the day.
Use Humidifiers
Harmattan air tends to be dry, and this can affect your respiratory system. Consider using humidifiers in your home or office to add moisture to the air and prevent dryness in your throat and nasal passages.
Protect Your Eyes
Dust and dry winds during harmattan can irritate your eyes. Wear sunglasses or protective eyewear to shield your eyes from dust and reduce the risk of eye irritation.
Stay Informed About Health Issues
Harmattan season is associated with certain health challenges, such as respiratory issues. Stay informed about potential health risks and take necessary precautions. If you have pre-existing respiratory conditions, consult with a healthcare professional.
