5 Everyday Beauty Essentials Every Kenyan Home Should Have
Skincare and haircare don't need to be complicated, expensive, or built around a ten-step routine.
Start with a good body lotion
Nairobi's dry spells and dusty roads are hard on skin. A rich shea or cocoa butter lotion used straight after a bath does most of the work. Choose a family-size 400ml bottle so nobody has to ration it.
Keep one face moisturiser you actually like
Your face needs something lighter than your body lotion. Pick a simple, gentle moisturiser and use it morning and night.
Look after your scalp
Healthy hair starts at the scalp. If yours is dry or flaky, a leave-in scalp treatment is an easy addition to wash day.
Finish hair with a light sheen
A quick mist of sheen spray adds gloss to braids, relaxed hair and natural styles without weighing them down.
Don't skip clean basics
Antibacterial soap and a good hand wash are beauty essentials too. Clean skin simply takes moisture better.
