Media personality and Neutrogena brand ambassador Mariam Said shares her top three skincare tipsfor flawless skin – inside and out – during Ramadan.
Breakouts, irritation and dry patches are just a few symptoms that our skin endures during the Holy Month as a result of fasting, less sleep and the region’s hot, humid weather. In other words, our skin needs a whole lot of TLC to keep it happy and hydrated during Ramadan.
1. Just Keep Moisturizing
Moisturize twice a day to keep your skin glowing and fresh, preferably with a lotion rich with Hyaluronic Acid – which has the capacity to attract and hold, 1000 times its weight in moisture. I use the Hydro Boost City Shield Hydrating Lotion SPF 25 which contains Hyaluronic Acid that works to replenish skin with a juicy boost of intense hydration. It also preserves the skins barrier so it can actively defend against external aggressors such as pollution, air condition and the sun.
2. Bye Bye Puffy Eyes
Did you know that the eyes are the first to show signs of fatigue and dehydration? Don’t forget to moisturize around your eyes before hitting the road, to keep you looking fresh and awake. Neutrogena’sHydro Boost Eye-Refreshing Cream awakens tired-looking eyes with an intense shot of hydration.This refreshing gel formula smooths and revitalises the skin to banish the tell-tale signs of fatigue.
3. Drink Lots of Water After Fasting
You’ve probably heard this many times over, but the best way to keep your skin hydrated is from the inside. After breaking your fast make sure to drink plenty of water – for added freshness, drop in a few slices of cucumber or berries to give your body a dose of antioxidants.
