Ramadan is a beautiful time of reflection, discipline, and devotion. However, fasting for long hours can take a toll on your skin, leading to dehydration, dullness, and a lack of elasticity. If you’re planning to glow for Eid, here’s how you can take care of your skin during Ramadan and the best time to schedule aesthetic treatments before the festivities.

How Fasting Affects Your Skin

During fasting, the body experiences lower water intake, which can lead to:
✅ Dehydration, causing skin to look dry and dull
✅ Increased fine lines due to loss of moisture
✅ Sensitivity and irritation from reduced hydration levels
✅ More prominent dark circles due to lack of nutrients and sleep adjustments

To keep your skin hydrated, fresh, and youthful, follow these expert skincare tips:

1. Hydration is Key – Inside & Out

💦 Drink More Water During Suhoor & Iftar

• Aim for at least 2-3 liters between Iftar and Suhoor.
• Include hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumber, and oranges.
• Avoid caffeine and salty foods, which dehydrate your skin.

💆‍♀️ Use Hydrating Skincare Products

• Opt for hyaluronic acid serums to lock in moisture.
• Use a lightweight but nourishing moisturizer to prevent dryness.
• Mist your face with a refreshing hydrating spray throughout the evening.

2. Adjust Your Skincare Routine for Ramadan

🌙 Morning Routine (Pre-Fasting)
✔ Use a gentle cleanser to remove oil buildup.
✔ Apply a moisturizing serum (preferably with hyaluronic acid).
✔ Don’t skip sunscreen – fasting skin can be more sensitive to sun exposure.

🌙 Evening Routine (Post-Iftar)
✔ Double cleanse to remove impurities.
✔ Apply nourishing serums like vitamin C or niacinamide.
✔ Use a rich night cream or sleeping mask to repair the skin overnight, you rather want to reduce retinol during holy month slightly.

3. Best Aesthetic Treatments to Get During Ramadan

If you’re considering aesthetic treatments, timing is key to ensure you look your best by Eid.

💉 Skin Boosters & Hydration Treatments (Best Done Early Ramadan)

• Skin hydration treatments like Jalupro(targeting fine lines), mesotherapy such as Bloom, AMeson,BCN or Exocell (containing salmon DNA), or hydrating facials are perfect for deep hydration and glow.
• Best to do in the first 20 days of Ramadan for optimal recovery before Eid.

⚡ Laser & Peels (Best Done Mid-Ramadan)

• If you’re planning to get laser facials, peels, or skin resurfacing, do it around mid-Ramadan to allow your skin time to heal.
• Avoid excessive sun exposure and use SPF religiously.

📌 Thread Lifting & Contouring Treatments (Best Done 2-3 Weeks Before Eid)

• For lifting sagging skin, defining jawlines, and reducing fine lines, thread lifts work best when done at least 2-3 weeks before Eid.
• This ensures any mild swelling or bruising subsides before celebrations.

💎 Fillers, Botox & Double Chin Treatments (Best Done 10 Days Before Eid)

• For Botox, fillers, or Lanluma collagen stimulation, aim for the last 10 days of Ramadan for results to settle naturally by Eid.
• Double chin fat-dissolving treatments take a couple of weeks to show full effects, so plan accordingly.

4. Eid Glow: Quick Skincare Boost Right Before Festivities

🌟 Try an Exosome dermapen therapy a few days before.
