As we celebrate the holy month of Ramadan this year, one of the biggest festivals for the Muslim community is approaching. Eid, celebrated with great joy and grandeur worldwide, is characterized by special dishes, decorations, and prayers, marking the conclusion of Ramadan. As we prepare for the festivities, it's important to remember to look our best on this special day.
Dr Mahnaz Jahan Begum, aesthetic expert and founder of Keraderm Clinics said, “As Eid celebrations are nearing, many of us are eager to look and feel our best. But the scorching heat and the harsh summer sun can leave our skin feeling dry, dull, and damaged.”
The cosmetologist further shared a few tips to treat sun-exposed skin to look your best during Eid celebrations:
Hydrate from inside out:
Drinking plenty of water is essential to keep your skin hydrated and plump. Aim to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day, and consider incorporating hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumbers into your diet.
Exfoliate and brighten:
Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, leaving your skin feeling smooth and looking brighter. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub.
Soothe and calm:
Sun-exposed skin can be sensitive and irritated. To soothe and calm your skin, apply a cooling face mask or aloe vera gel. You can also try using a serum or moisturizer containing soothing ingredients like green tea, chamomile, or cucumber.
Follow these prevention tips to maintain healthy skin:
- Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
- Seek shade and wear protective clothing.
- Avoid going out during extreme temperatures.
- Get a facial or chemical peel 2-3 days before Eid to give your skin time to recover and glow.
- Use a hydrating face mask the night before Eid to wake up with plump, radiant skin.
