Routine guide
Skincare for Nigerian weather: less, but better
Heat and humidity can make a routine feel heavy. The answer is often lighter textures and fewer layers, not abandoning moisturiser or scrubbing more.
Build around three habits
Cleanse gently, moisturise with a texture you enjoy, and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the daytime. Reapply when sun exposure, sweat and time call for it. Add treatment products only for a clear reason.
Change texture before changing everything
If a cream feels too rich, try a lighter lotion or gel rather than skipping support entirely. If sunscreen feels uncomfortable, test another finish. Comfort makes consistency easier.
Watch the urge to over-cleanse
Sweat is not dirt and shine is not failure. Repeated harsh cleansing and gritty scrubs can increase discomfort. Pat the face dry and keep a simple routine for several weeks before judging it.
