How to Keep Skin Hydrated During Ramadan so it Doesn't Get Dull

JAKARTA - Keeping the skin hydrated is one of the important keys to maintaining skin health, especially when the body experiences changes in routines such as during the fasting month.

Lack of fluid intake for a long time and changes in sleep patterns can make the skin more prone to dryness, dullness, and sensitivity. In this case, proper care is needed to keep the skin hydrated throughout the day.

Co-founder and CMO of Social Bella, Chrisanti Indiana, said that changes in the body's rhythm during Ramadan also affect skin needs.

"Every Ramadan, we see changes in the needs of beauty enthusiasts. When the body rhythm changes, the skin needs also change. Ramadan skin shift is a reminder that beauty routines don't have to be more, but they must be more precise and appropriate," said Chrisanti in his statement to VOI.

According to him, a more adaptive treatment approach is the key to maintaining skin health during the fasting month. Through the Sociolla omnichannel beauty retailer platform, the company presents a curation of treatment products from head to toe that can help maintain skin hydration while keeping the look fresh throughout the day.

Skin care during Ramadan should start in the evening. Although sleep time is often shorter because you have to wake up for sahur, using skincare before resting is still important to help maintain the balance of skin hydration.

One of the products that can be used is COSRX The Peptide Collagen Lifting Glow Hydrogel Mask. This hydrogel mask contains six types of peptides and collagen with small molecules that can help maintain skin elasticity while providing intense hydration.

The texture will turn transparent when optimally absorbed, so that the skin feels more moist, supple, and looks glowing when you wake up in the morning.

After sahur, body care also needs to be considered so that the skin remains comfortable until the time of breaking the fast. The Pure Paw Paw Botanical Body Wash & Lotion series can help cleanse and maintain skin moisture.

The content of typical Australian botanicals and papaya extract in it helps nourish the skin and provide a soft floral aroma that lasts all day.

In addition to the face and body, the scalp also needs extra attention during Ramadan. Use a hair serum formulated with organic cold-pressed tamanu oil to help soothe dry or sensitive scalps. The texture is light with a cool sensation so that the hair feels fresher throughout the day.

In addition, changes in diet and rest during fasting can also trigger excessive oil production that makes the skin more prone to acne. For a practical solution, Derma Angel Acne Patch Plus Flex Fit can be used to help treat acne.

This product contains salicylic acid and hydrocolloid technology that helps reduce redness while protecting acne-prone skin areas. Its larger size also allows it to cover several pimples at once, including on body areas such as the back or chest.

So that the appearance of the face remains fresh during fasting, the use of light makeup with natural results can be an option. Amuse Dew Tint Daisy and Amuse Cheek Tok Tok can give a natural tone on the lips and cheeks with a juicy effect that makes the face look fresher. This product is also multi-use so it can be used on the lips, cheeks, and eyelids.

The look can be complemented with Espoir The Brow Fixing Cara which helps tidy the eyebrows with a natural and long-lasting result, creating a no-makeup look that is still neat for activities from sahur to tarawih.

Chrisanti added that Ramadan is the right moment to take care of yourself more mindfully.

"Ramadan is about balance and self-reflection. We hope that this curation can help beauty enthusiasts adjust to changing skin needs and still feel comfortable in every activity during the fasting month," he concluded.
