Five - ish *Tips for managing the heat season*




Heat Season Edition 

Thank God for the first weekend in March.

As much as we wish that this time of the year never comes because of the intense heat, it's here all the same. Aside from causing us to drink plenty cold water/drinks, the season also comes with things like heat rashes, sunburn and the likes. Today on five-ish, here are five TIPS to help you manage this season more adequately.

1. If you must go under the sun, do use sun glasses. Sunglasses are not for effizy (fashion) alone. They're mean to protect your precious eyes from the damaging effects of the blazing sun. They come in various shapes and sizes so pick the one that suits you. If you keep forming macho and exposing your eyes to the harsh sun rays, you may eventually develop eye-related issues before you get to forty.


2. Use sunscreen daily, especially If you go out daily. If you use a lightening cream which does not have sunscreen in it, use it at night alone and use a moisturising cream and sunscreen in the day time. This is because the lightening cream may react adversely when you're under the sun leading to sunburn or adverse reactions.

3. If you don't have sunscreen, always go out with a scarf wrapped around your head and face. This will protect your face, which has the most contact with the sun, from sunburn. You can also wrap it around your shoulders if your wearing a sleeveless top to protect your hands from sunburn. When it comes to sunburn, prevention is key. Sunburn caused by just 30 minutes under the sun may take many months to undo.


4. Have an anti-bacterial cream such as Funbact - A on standby to treat any outbreak of heat rashes as they appear. Some people prefer dusting powder or our local moju powder. These are good but end up leaving the affected area with dark patches. Funbact - A does a better job.


5. Choose a hair style that makes the heat more bearable. Hairstyles such as Ghana weaving and normal braids are more comfortable in this season. If you must use weave-ons, choose a style that you can easily wrap upwards to prevent it from touching and reacting with your neck.

While we await the arrival of the rainy season, these tips will help you get through the heat season more comfortably. Have a splendid weekend.
