Caring for your skin during Ramadan

Skin often becomes drier and the complexion duller, especially in the first days. Lips are affected first, as they have no protective film.

Shifted sleep also plays a part: fatigue accentuates dark circles and slows skin repair.

The full routine goes after breaking the fast, when there is time. In the morning keep the essentials: quick cleanse, moisturiser, sun protection.

A richer texture in the evening compensates for a day without water intake.

Demand shifts noticeably in the weeks before the month: hydrating products, lip balms, and outfits for evenings and Eid.

Planning a month ahead avoids buying when everyone else is — at the highest price and the longest lead times.
