Staying beautiful at any time is very important for women, not least when fasting. Although when fasting your eating time becomes limited, this is not an obstacle for you to take care of your skin to stay beautiful when fasting. By continuing to keep your skin fasting, you will look more beautiful when Lebaran arrives.
How to keep skin beautiful when fasting
To maintain skin beauty and health, you can do it from inside and outside. Some things you can do to keep your skin looking beautiful when fasting are:
1. Consume foods that are healthy for the skin
Keep your skin beautiful from the inside. That is, you must consume various nutrients needed by the skin. This is the best way to keep your skin looking beautiful. Keeping the skin hydrated with a good layer of fat under the skin can protect skin moisture from the inside. For that, you need to eat foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants.
Antioxidants are needed to protect body cells from damage caused by free radicals. You can get antioxidants by eating foods that contain vitamins A, C, and E. So, you need to consume lots of fruits and vegetables during fasting (at least 5 servings per day) to get all these nutrients.
Omega-3 fatty acids are also needed to help prevent sun damage. You can get omega-3 fatty acids from consuming fatty fish, fish oil, avocados, almonds, hazelnuts, olive oil, and canola oil.
2. Take care of your fluid intake
In addition to healthy food, adequate fluid intake is also needed to maintain the body's hydration and moisture in your skin. For that, you need to consume lots of fluids when fasting. Lack of fluid during fasting can make your skin dry, less elastic, less elastic, and easily wrinkled. At least, you are advised to drink as much as 8 glasses per day or more. Even though you are fasting, this is not your obstacle to meeting your fluid needs.
3. Stay away from stress
Uncontrolled stress can make aging of skin cells run faster and trigger acne. Stress in the body can trigger a hormonal response in which the body can produce hormones that have a negative impact on the skin, such as dry, striped and sagging skin.
So, to maintain the health of your skin, you should avoid stress and get enough sleep. Remember, lack of sleep can also make your body stressed and tired. Enough sleep can give your body time to rejuvenate and repair skin cells.
4. Take good care of your skin
To protect the skin from the outside, you need to clean your skin every day, especially facial skin. Take a shower and clean your facial skin regularly, at least twice per day to maintain clean skin. After washing your face, dry it with a towel by gently tapping your face. Avoid using strong soap for bathing and washing your face.
If you feel your skin is dry, use it lotion or moisturizer that suits your skin type to moisturize the skin. Choose a moisturizer that supports SPF for daily use.
In addition, you also need to protect the skin from the sun. Sun exposure can cause the skin to become wrinkled, age quickly, and other skin problems. To protect the skin from the sun, you can use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, avoid sunlight between 10-16 hours, and wear closed clothing.
