Beauty
A skincare routine that survives Ghanaian humidity
24 Jun 2026 · 6 min read
Heat, dust and sweat break most complicated routines. Simple and consistent wins.
The four steps
- Gentle cleanser, morning and night.
- A lightweight moisturiser — gel textures over heavy creams.
- Sunscreen every morning. Yes, on deep skin tones too.
- One treatment (niacinamide or salicylic acid) at night, not both.
What to skip
Ten-step routines, skin-lightening products, and switching products every two weeks. Give anything new at least six weeks before judging it.
