How to Maintain Healthy Skin During Ramadan

Posted by Keyoura Team - 14 March 2025

Ramadan is a special time for spiritual reflection, but changes in routine, sleep patterns, and hydration can impact your skin. Fasting for long hours can lead to dehydration, dryness, dullness, and breakouts. However, with the right skincare routine, you can maintain a healthy, radiant complexion throughout the month. Here's how to care for your skin during Ramadan and keep it glowing.

Stay Hydrated During Non-Fasting Hours

Since water intake is limited during the day, dehydration can lead to dry and flaky skin. Drinking plenty of water during non-fasting hours (between Iftar and Suhoor) is essential for maintaining skin hydration. Consuming water-rich foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and oranges can also help keep your skin plump and fresh.

Nourish Your Skin from Within

Fasting can sometimes lead to a lack of essential vitamins and minerals, which can affect your skin’s natural glow. Eating a well-balanced diet during Ramadan is crucial not only for your overall health but also for your skin. Be sure to include nutrient-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats in your Iftar and Suhoor meals. These foods provide essential vitamins and antioxidants that support healthy, radiant skin.

Cleansing is Key

Cleansing is the first step in any skincare routine, and it’s especially important during Ramadan. Fasting, combined with the hot weather, can make your skin prone to accumulating sweat, dirt, and oil. You need a gentle cleanser that removes impurities without stripping the skin of its natural moisture.

Use a mild, hydrating cleanser like Ageless Brightening Gel Cleanser, which not only cleanses but also brightens and refreshes your skin. It effectively removes dirt and impurities without drying out your skin.

Exfoliate Gently

Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, which can make your skin look dull and tired. During Ramadan, it’s important to exfoliate gently to avoid irritating dry or sensitive skin.

Use a mild exfoliant like Ageless Gentle Exfoliating Toner, which contains natural AHAs and White Willow Bark extract that help remove dead skin cells. These ingredients help remove dead skin cells without causing irritation, while also evening out skin tone and smoothing the skin’s texture.

Protect Your Skin from the Sun

During Ramadan, you may spend more time outdoors after Iftar, increasing your exposure to the sun. Sun damage can accelerate skin aging, cause dark spots, and raise your risk of skin cancer.

Start with a serum like Ageless Instant Hydrating Day Serum, which hydrates while also protecting your skin from sun damage, thanks to its Ectoin content. After applying the serum, layer it with the Ageless Intensive Lightening Day Cream to moisturize the skin. The Alpha Arbutin in the cream also helps lighten the skin. Finally, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen as the last step in your morning skincare routine for additional protection from UV radiation.

Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize

Moisturizing your skin is essential, especially when you're fasting. Dehydration can make your skin feel tight and dry, leading to wrinkles and dullness. Choose a moisturizer that locks in moisture and helps restore hydration levels.

Use a rich serum like the Ageless Ultimate Rejuvenating Night Serum followed by the Ageless Antioxidant Moisturizing Night Cream before bedtime to keep your skin hydrated and nourished throughout the night. These products are packed with antioxidants from Buah Merah oil, which help revitalize your skin from environmental damage while providing deep hydration.

Maintain a Consistent Skincare Routine

Consistency is key to healthy skin, especially during Ramadan when your skin may go through some changes. Stick to a simple yet effective skincare routine to keep your skin clean, hydrated, and protected.
