During Ramadan it is easy for your skin to take a backseat. Due to sudden changes in dietary habits and long hours of fasting, you may experience dehydration, dullness, and breakouts and that is why it is essential to ensure your skin stays hydrated and nourished throughout the Holy Month.
As your skin may require a little extra help, taking care of your diet and nutrition and having a skincare routine would ensure your skin remains radiant and hydrated, especially as the weather gets warmer. Here are some key tips on how you can keep your skin glowing and healthy during the Holy Month.
Stay hydrated during Iftar and Suhoor
You can help keep your skin fresh and hydrated by having a lot of liquids between Iftar and Suhoor.
Drink lots of water after fasting hours, but not all in one go as your body will not be able to absorb all of it.
We recommend that you avoid fizzy, sugar-filled drinks and caffeine after you break your fast. Go for foods with high water content or water infused with cucumber, mint, or lemon instead, as they provide you with several vitamins and minerals to keep your skin glowing.
If you want to give your skin a hydrating boost during Ramadan, Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Moisture Booster is quick way to give it some comfort. This ultra-light refreshing gel increases skin hydration for up to 24 hours.
Eat foods that make your skin glow
Eating foods rich in fiber and antioxidants, such as berries, almonds, dark chocolate, and pomegranates helps your skin to stay healthy. We recommend indulging in skin-friendly foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and herbal teas after fasting hours to keep your skin looking and feeling great.
For an added glow, you can try using Eucerin Even Pigment Perfector Skin Perfecting Serum, which contains Thiamidol to reduce pigment spots and prevent their reappearance. It can help your skin look even and radiant.
You can also boost your skin with Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Vitamin C Booster, an anti-aging serum with 10% pure and freshly activated Vitamin C that strengthens and smooths skin while plumping up wrinkles.
Use the right moisturizer for your skin type
Selecting the right body moisturizer for your skin type is important in keeping your skin hydrated during Ramadan. Here are some tips that can help you choose the perfect moisturizer:
- Understand your skin type: Oily, dry, normal, or sensitive? Each skin type has its own specific needs, so be sure to choose a moisturizer that is tailored to yours.
- Find the right ingredients:
- If you have dry skin, look for a moisturizer with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, dexpanthenol or urea to attract moisture to the skin. Eucerin pH5 Lotion is a gentle and effective body moisturizer that has been formulated to make dry, sensitive skin more resilient thanks to the dexpanthenol it contains.
- If you have oily skin, try a lightweight moisturizer with ingredients like salicylic acid to help control oil production. Use Eucerin DermoPurifyer Mattifying Fluid to effectively prevent pimples and blackheads, as well as reduce blemishes and prevent them from re-appearing.
- Consider the texture: The texture of your moisturizer matters.
- For dry skin, consider a rich, thick, and creamy moisturizer base. Use Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Day Cream which is an advanced Hyaluronic Acid formula based anti-wrinkle day cream for dry skin designed to plump and prevent premature ageing and the deepening of wrinkles.
- For oily skin, try using a lightweight, gel-based formula like Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Moisture Booster. A hydrating and refreshing gel that gives skin an immediate moisture boost, increases skin hydration, and visibly plumps up fine lines for smooth and healthy-looking skin..
- Protect from the sun:
It is important to avoid sun exposure during the Holy Month, as it can dehydrate your skin and damage collagen production and elastin. To keep your skin safe from harmful UV rays, remember to use a sunscreen with broad-spectrum SPF, like Eucerin Sun Gel-Cream Dry Touch Sensitive Protect SPF 50+.
Avoid heavy make-up
Using heavy makeup can clog your pores and lead to dry and dehydrated skin, especially during Ramadan. But there are other options, like BB creams and lightweight foundations that contain hydrating ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and aloe vera, which can help keep your skin moisturized and glowing. Remember take care of your lips too. You can use Eucerin Lip Active to keep them hydrated and protected from the sun, or a lip balm with SPF.
It is also important to remove your makeup safely and cleanly, especially during Ramadan. Eucerin DermatoCLEAN Micellar Foam is a great option that effectively removes impurities and waterproof makeup without leaving your skin feeling dry.
For more sensitive skin, Eucerin DermoPurifyer Cleansing Gel is a gentle yet effective face wash that removes excess sebum and makeup. And for those with oily skin, Eucerin DermoPurifyer Toner can help clear and cleanse problem areas.
Don’t over-wash your skin
While it is important to stay hydrated during Ramadan, washing your face frequently can strip the skin of its natural oils, causing you dryness and irritation. Use a mist spray as a refreshing and hydrating alternative.
Mist sprays contain fine particles of water and other beneficial ingredients that can help cool and soothe the skin, without causing damage or dryness. Some mist sprays are also infused with vitamins and antioxidants, which can help nourish and protect the skin from harm.
Conclusion
Keep your skin hydrated and healthy during the Holy Month by following the tips listed above and ensure that your skin receives all the love and care it deserves. A combination of the right food, plenty of water and Eucerin’s nourishing products that are well attuned for all skin types is all you need to look as radiant as ever this Ramadan.
