Prolonged fasting can dehydrate the body, thereby making the skin dry, dull and lifeless. According to dermatologist Ankur Sarin, working at Aster CMI Skin and Hair Hospital (India), just a few small steps in your skin care routine can help women stay healthy and radiant all day long.
Hydrates skin before fasting
Before starting your day, get enough water and apply moisturizers containing hyaluronic acid, glycerin or panthenol.
These ingredients help the skin retain water and maintain smoothness throughout fasting, says Dr. Sarin. You can use mineral spray from rose water or cucumber to soothe and balance the skin's pH during the day.
Keep your morning routine minimalist
Avoid using conditioners or retinol. Choose a mild cleanser, followed by a mild moisturizer and sunscreen containing vitamin E. Even when you are indoors, UV rays can still harm your skin, he noted.
Refrigerate to reduce skin fatigue
Keep the pearl rolls in the refrigerator, use them in the morning to reduce swelling and puffiness. You can replace it with a cold mask or chamomile tea bag to restore tired skin. Products containing caffeine or green tea extract also help soothe and brighten the skin around the eyes.
evening skin care to recover from fasting
After drinking water and snacking, apply a cream containing peptides or antioxidants to restore moisture and regenerate the skin. A thin or colorful moisturizer helps the skin look naturally fresh. Don't forget to nourish your lips with lip balm with shea butter or squalane to keep your lips soft and smooth.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle to keep your skin bright and healthy
Reducing caffeine, supplementing probiotics from yogurt or fermented foods, and getting enough sleep are three important factors that help the skin recover quickly. Depper sleep before the holidays will help reduce oxidative stress and give skin natural radiance, says Dr. Sarin.
Skin care is not only a beauty issue but also a way to help women maintain health and confidence, especially on special days when the body is under pressure from fasting.
