“Whenever Ramadan is approaching, I begin to tailor my skincare in preparation for any skin issues that may arise. Typically during Ramadan, my skin is a lot drier, which actually causes breakouts. I used to even avoid any retinoids, as I felt my skin could not tolerate them while fasting, but this Ramadan, I’ll be using my Skin Rocks Retinoid 2 Vitamin A Face Serum containing effective ingredients such as 0.5% hydroxypinacolone retinoate and 0.05% retinal in a gentle formula that gives no irritation or dryness.
“Throughout the winter months but also in Ramadan, I’ll be reaching for my Farmacy Honey Halo Ultra-Hydrating Ceramide Moisturiser, which is packed with honey and shea butter and offers intense moisture for dry and distressed skin. Finally, the disruption of sleep and lack of hydration causes my skin to become dull during Ramadan, so I’ll be reaching for my Indē Wild AM Sunrise Glow Serum. Packed with potent actives and paired with Ayurvedic superfoods, this serum gives my skin the nourishment it needs, resulting in a beautiful, radiant glow.”
