Every day
- Wash with a gentle soap and lukewarm water.
- Pat dry, leaving the skin slightly damp.
- Moisturise within a few minutes: lotion on warm days, cream on dry days.
Small things that make a difference
- Moisturise your hands after washing them, especially if you wash them often.
- Change your routine with the seasons: lighter in the rainy season, richer in harmattan.
- Try any new product on a small patch of skin first.
When to get advice
If your skin stays very dry, cracked, itchy or sore for more than a couple of weeks, see a doctor or a pharmacist.
This is general advice, not medical advice.
