Holistic hints and tips during the holy month

You already know that a holistic approach to skin includes taking care of your mind, body and soul all together. With gentle aesthetic treatments and a few simple daily routines, your skin will radiate with health and youthfulness during Ramadan. And who could give you better advice about how to take care of your well-being than Lucia Clinic’s experts who value a holistic approach above anything?

#1 HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE

During the holy month, your skin easily loses moisture so it needs more hydration. Praying 5 times a day and washing your face can lead to dry skin. So always remember to use a gentle moisturizer that suits your skin type – that way you will keep your skin healthy-looking and supple. The right moisturizer will penetrate your skin and bring you better results. Use products that are full of antioxidants and vitamins to boost your skin hydration even more. Rich moisturizers will prevent your skin from aging and dehydration and keep it tight, smooth and radiant.

Also don’t forget to properly cleanse your face before going to bed to remove all the accumulated dirt, sweat and other impurities. Again, use a gentle cleanser that won’t remove natural protective oils from your skin.

It goes without question that drinking plenty of water is essential during Ramadan season. Water will keep your entire body hydrated and prevent dryness, wrinkles and fine lines. Since you can drink water only from sunset to sunrise, make sure to evenly distribute up to 2 liters of water. Even though you can’t drink water during the day, your body still needs the same daily amount of it. So, stay hydrated during the non-fasting period and your body and your skin will be more than grateful.

Finally, use a high SPF during the day to protect the skin from the sun. As you are not drinking water during the day, your skin gets vulnerable to heat. You can even choose sun protection products that moisturize your skin. That way you are hydrating and protecting your skin at the same time.

#2 KEEP A BALANCED DIET

During Ramadan, your skin may get dull-looking and dry because you significantly change your diet. Try to avoid heavy eating before sunrise and at sunset because this may negatively affect your well-being. Also, don’t miss out on nutritious food because you have limited time to eat. Moderation is the key.

To boost your immune system, eat plenty of fruit and veggies. It will also keep your skin healthy-looking. So, consume Vitamins A, B, C and E on a daily basis. The best option is to have balanced meals full of proteins and vegetables.

Keep sugar and soft drinks to a minimum but drink yogurt as much as you want. It will keep your body and skin healthy and refreshed.

#3 KEEP IT SIMPLE

Take some time off applying heavy makeup because it blocks your pores and may cause acne or other skin blemishes. This is because, during the holy month, you are not hydrating enough during the day and heavy makeup can contribute to skin problems. Instead, go for a natural look, or wear light makeup if you have to.

But keep your skincare routine in terms of cleansing and moisturizing. During the day moisturize and apply SPF and during the night cleanse your skin and moisturize again. Your skin will be radiant and healthy-looking – that’s all you want during Ramadan.

#4 AVOID INJECTABLE TREATMENTS

Some treatments are generally not recommended to have during Ramadan. These treatments include injectables aka Botox, Dermal Fillers, and Mesotherapy.

Namely most injectable treatments involve introducing foreign substances directly into your body and that interferes with the integrity of the fast. Therefore, according to Lucia Clinic’s doctors, during the fasting time, you should abstain from cosmetic treatments that include needles.

So, to be sure that you are fully respecting the sanctity of the holy month, opt for non-injectable treatments that will keep your skin radiant and youthful.

As the holy month of Ramadan starts, Lucia Clinic wishes you spiritual growth and self-care. Let your beauty shine from within.
