Secrets to Keeping Your Skin Moisturized During Ramadan, Powerful Tips for You!

Kapanlagi.com - Fasting during Ramadan is indeed a time full of blessings, but it cannot be denied that changes in eating patterns and habits during this holy month can affect our skin health. One of the common challenges is dry skin.

Not only that, exposure to sunlight while engaging in outdoor activities can also worsen our skin condition. Moreover, the temperature difference between the scorching daytime and cooler nights often leads our skin to become dehydrated. As a result, the skin can feel rough, appear dull, and even peel in some areas.

Dry skin not only affects appearance but can also trigger other issues such as irritation and acne. Therefore, keeping the skin moisturized while fasting is an important step to ensure we remain fresh and healthy throughout Ramadan.

Let’s together keep our skin glowing in this blessed month, reported by Kapanlagi.com from various sources, Thursday (20/3/2025).

1. Tips to Maintain Skin Moisture from Within

To maintain skin moisture, the first step that should not be overlooked is to ensure your body is well-hydrated. Although you can't drink all day, you can take advantage of the moments of suhoor and iftar to meet your fluid needs.

Try to consume at least eight glasses of water with a smart pattern of 2-4-2: two glasses during suhoor, four glasses after iftar, and two glasses before bedtime.

In addition to water, don't forget to include water-rich foods such as fresh fruits like watermelon, oranges, or melons, as well as vegetables like cucumbers and lettuce, which will help hydrate the body from within.

Avoid excessive consumption of caffeinated beverages like coffee or tea, as they can lead to dehydration.

No less important, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E also play a vital role in maintaining skin moisture; both strengthen the skin's protective barrier, maintain elasticity, and prevent moisture loss.

You can find them in fatty fish, nuts, or olive oil.

2. External Skin Care During Ramadan

Taking care of your skin is not just about maintaining moisture from within, but also from the outside. Every morning after showering and before bed, make sure to use the right moisturizer for your skin type.

Choose a moisturizer with high-quality ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramide that effectively locks in moisture.

If you're active outdoors, don't forget sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from UV rays that can accelerate dehydration.

Remember to reapply every 2-3 hours, especially when sweating. Additionally, do scrubbing once a week to remove dead skin cells, but choose a gentle product.

Afterward, pamper your skin with a nourishing face mask to keep moisture well-maintained.
