Ramadan is a month of spiritual reflection, fasting, and self-discipline. While fasting offers many benefits for the mind and body, it can also impact your skin due to changes in your eating and hydration patterns. Dehydration, dryness, and dullness are common skin concerns during this period. However, you can maintain a radiant and healthy complexion throughout Ramadan with the right skincare routine.
1. Stay Hydrated from Within
One key factor in maintaining healthy skin during Ramadan is staying hydrated. Since water intake is restricted during the day, drinking plenty of fluids is essential after breaking your fast. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water and incorporate hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and oranges into your meals. Avoid excessive caffeine, as it can lead to dehydration and dry skin.
2. Follow a Gentle Cleansing Routine
Cleansing is crucial during Ramadan to remove impurities and excess oils that accumulate throughout the day. Use a mild, hydrating cleanser that doesn’t strip away natural oils. Overwashing or using harsh cleansers can lead to dryness and irritation. Double cleansing at night, followed by a gentle foaming cleanser, can help keep your skin clear and balanced.
3. Use GLIST Sheet Masks
The GLIST Ultra Hydro Plumping Mask is a game-changer for keeping your skin plump and refreshed. After a long day of fasting, your skin may feel dry and fatigued. Applying this GLIST mask infused with ingredients like sodium hyaluronic, sodium polyglutamate, and glycerine can replenish lost moisture and soothe your skin. Use the Ultra Hydro Plumping Mask 2-3 times a week, preferably after cleansing and before applying your moisturiser to keep your skin soft and hydrated.
4. Don’t Skip Sunscreen
Even though you may spend most of the day indoors, sun protection is still essential. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50 every morning to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Sunscreen helps prevent premature ageing, hyperpigmentation, and dryness caused by sun exposure.
5. Get Enough Sleep
Adequate rest is vital for skin renewal and repair. Late-night prayers and altered sleep schedules can take a toll on your complexion, leading to dark circles and dull skin. Try to get at least 6-8 hours of sleep to allow your skin to rejuvenate.
Taking care of your skin during Ramadan can be straightforward with the right routine. Focus on hydration, gentle cleansing, and sun protection to maintain a healthy glow. Prioritizing self-care will help you feel and look your best. For an extra boost of hydration, incorporate GLIST’s Ultra Hydro Plumping Mask into your routine at least three times a week. This mask is designed to deeply nourish and revitalise your skin, helping you achieve a fresh and dewy complexion throughout this Ramadan!
