Fasting during Ramadan can impact skin health, leading to dehydration, dullness, puffiness, and breakouts.

Since long fasting hours reduce water intake, the skin loses moisture, making it essential to adopt a proper skincare routine, reports Hindustan Times.

Experts emphasize the importance of hydration and nourishment to maintain glowing skin during fasting.

Why fasting affects skin

According to dermatologist Dr. Vaibhav Kalambe, fasting shifts the body’s focus to internal healing and detoxification. However, due to reduced water intake, the skin becomes dry, flaky, and irritated.

Changes in diet, stress, and dehydration can also lead to acne and breakouts. Additionally, under-eye puffiness and dark circles become more prominent when the skin lacks hydration.

Common skin issues during fasting

Dryness and flakiness: Dehydration leads to tight, rough, and patchy skin.

Dull and tired look: Lack of moisture reduces skin elasticity, making fine lines and wrinkles more visible.

Acne and sensitivity: Sudden dietary changes, combined with dryness, can trigger breakouts.

Dark circles and puffiness: Inadequate hydration causes fluid retention around the eyes, worsening dark circles.

Hydrating skincare tips

To keep skin healthy during fasting, drink plenty of water during non-fasting hours. Include hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumber, and coconut water in your diet. Avoid harsh soaps that strip natural oils, and use a hydrating cleanser instead.

Applying a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid or aloe vera helps lock in moisture. Using a lightweight facial oil before bed can further nourish the skin. Sunscreen with SPF 50 is essential to protect against environmental damage.

By following a simple yet effective skincare routine and consulting a dermatologist before using new products, fasting-induced skin issues can be prevented, ensuring a radiant and healthy complexion.
