With the period of Ramadan nearly coming to an end, it might be a time to take a step back and re-evaluate your skin’s condition.
Fasting during Ramadan means going long hours without water and food, sometimes for as long as 15 hours. It’s no secret that Ramadan fasting and skin health are correlated, such a change can have a significant impact on the way your skin & looks & feels. After all, the appearance of your skin is a literal representation of your gut health, hormonal cycles and metabolic changes in general. In simple terms, what you eat impacts how you glow.
When conducting such a fast, your body enters a state of rejuvenation - cell repair gets faster, insulin levels increase, and fat gets burnt as a source of energy. This in turn leads to reduced inflammation, which is a major source for acne and aging. Giving your skin a cleaner and brighter appearance.
However, this glow can only be achieved with sufficient sleep, hydration, and healthy eating choices. Eating oily or fatty items can increase sebum production, not managing your water intake properly can dullen the skin. And lack of sleep can lead to collagen breakdown, increasing the appearance of dark circles.
In order to ensure that your Ramadan fasting doesn’t come at the expense of your glow, we recommend putting a Ramadan skincare routine in place:
Having gone through a long-period of restricted nourishment, your skin tends to be more reactive to aggressive ingredients and at risk of barrier damage.
Opt for a care-intensive moisturizer, such as our 5 Ceramides Barrier repair Moisturizer, which speeds up healing and repair with the help of Korean CICA and provides some much needed nourishment using hyaluronic acid.
Also ensure to switch to a gentle cleansing formulation, our Red Vine Face Wash helps restore collagen and softens the skin’s texture. It’s also rich in Vitamin C and Aloe, providing a natural glow and intense hydration.
Following these simple Ramadan skin care tips will help restore balance to your care routine and give your skin the nourishment it deserves. Celebrate Eid al-Fitr with great joy and grandeur, and let your skin glow just as bright as the festivities!
