After a month of fasting, your skin may be feeling dry, dehydrated, and a little worse for wear. The long hours without water, combined with changes in diet, the hot weather in Bangladesh, and increased exposure to the sun, can cause your skin to lose moisture, leading to tightness, dryness, and lack of radiance. But don’t worry, you can bring your skin back to life with the right skincare routine and diet, leaving you with a soft, hydrated, and glowing complexion—just in time for Eid!

In this blog, we’ll walk you through a recovery-focused skincare routine to address dryness and bring back moisture to your skin. We’ll also share dietary recommendations and a meal plan to help nourish your skin from the inside out. Don’t forget to check out our additional tip!

Why Dryness Happens After Ramadan

During Ramadan, fasting for long hours without drinking water affects your skin’s ability to stay hydrated. The skin becomes more prone to dryness, tightness, and flakiness. On top of that, the weather in Bangladesh can be intense, with high humidity and exposure to sun, which further exacerbates dehydration.

Here are the common skin issues you might face post-Ramadan:

• Dryness and Flakiness: Dehydration and lack of moisture can leave your skin feeling rough, patchy, and flaky.
• Tightness: Your skin may feel tight and uncomfortable due to a lack of hydration.
• Dullness: Dry skin often loses its natural glow and can appear dull and lackluster.

But with the right skincare products and proper hydration, you can reverse the damage and restore your skin’s natural radiance.
