This is the only weather you\u2019re cold and sweating at the same time.<br>By the 26th morning, it was full-blown, couldn\u2019t take a bath till late afternoon. By the 27th, it had disappeared and here I was thinking Uncle dusty came out to play.\u00a0<br>Fast forward to January, he finally came out to play, it\u2019s been super chilly, dusty, and hot all week so I decided to finish up this post before he disappears again.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are 10 items you need to stay protected this harmattan season<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. SUNSCREEN<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a misconception of sunscreen being for only light-skinned folks (I laugh in Spanish). The sun damaging rays does not see color, it hits all skin tone with the same intensity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shielding your skin with sunscreen either fair or dark is the smartest choice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This harmattan sun can fry your destiny (Nigerian slang) my brothers and sisters in the North can attest to this.&nbsp;Sunscreen is the key to keeping the skin healthy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get yourself one with at least an SPF30 from your local beauty stores and pharmacies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/jummydefila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/bcaea646-f5cc-4442-a404-3b6c3e38.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jummydefila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/bcaea646-f5cc-4442-a404-3b6c3e38.webp 640w, https:\/\/jummydefila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/bcaea646-f5cc-4442-a404-3b6c3e38-300x291.webp 300w, https:\/\/jummydefila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/bcaea646-f5cc-4442-a404-3b6c3e38-200x194.webp 200w, https:\/\/jummydefila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/bcaea646-f5cc-4442-a404-3b6c3e38-30x30.webp 30w, https:\/\/jummydefila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/bcaea646-f5cc-4442-a404-3b6c3e38-480x465.webp 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">My Oriflame sunscreen with SPF 50<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.
