Keep Your Skin Refreshed and Revitalised This Ramadan

Ramadan is just around the corner and contrary to popular belief, your skin does not have to suffer during this time of the year.

Dermatologist & Aesthetic Dr. Shadan Naji, from Obagi Medispa brings you the top 7 tips to keep your skin radiant and hydrated during this month.

1. Top five tips to keep your skin hydrated during the month of Ramadan:

• Do not wash your skin more than twice a day as it can irritate and cause dehydration.
• Use a gentle moisturizer once or twice a day to keep the skin hydrated.
• Use Vitamin C serum on a daily basis in the morning as it has antioxidants that help protect the skin free from radicals.
• Use a proper sunblock on a daily basis to protect your skin from sun damage.
• Do not use heavy makeup during Ramadan time. Try to limit to a very light mineral one with a primer.

2. Tips to keep your complexion bright and glowing while fasting:

• Drink a lot of water intake once you break your fast.
• YOUR SKIN IS WHAT YOU EAT. Avoid excessive sugar and increase vegetables and fruits into your diet, especially those rich in antioxidants.

3. Combat puffy eyes and dark circles caused by decreased sleep during Ramadan:

• Try to avoid salty food and concentrated juices that are popular in Ramadan.
• Continue using an effective eye care cream twice a day with gentle massage.

4. Recommended vitamin supplements and antioxidants to take during suhoor:

• Specific vitamins and antioxidants can enhance the well being of the skin. Vitamin C, E, A, selenium and zinc are the most important.
• We suggest SkinHealth Beauty & Mind supplements by NextCell from Obagi.

5. Go-to treatment at Obagi to lift and revitalize skin:

• Mesotherapy treatment with microneedling fills the skin with nourishments, vitamins and amino acids. Suitable for all skin types with almost no downtime.

6. Mending dry lips:

• Moisturize the lips three to four times a day to reduce this problem as well as applying sunblock.
• A skin booster treatment can be done at Obagi.

7. Release all toxins from within:

• Cleanse your skin appropriately; try Nuderm foaming gel from Obagi and remove the upper dead layers by exfoliating to enable it to benefit from topical treatments.
