DUBAI: During the holy month of Ramadan, the sudden shift in what and when people eat, coupled with lower water intake, can cause the skin to lose moisture and elasticity, making it appear dull and tired.
But fasting does not mean skin should go hungry. Arab News spoke to dermatologists Dr. Eman Kotb from Dubai’s Medcare Hospital and Dr. Umesh Nihalani from Dubai London Clinic to find out how to keep the dermis healthy and glowing, even during Ramadan.
Kotb said: “Fasting can leave your skin dry, dull and even accentuates wrinkles due to a lack of hydration. There is a strong link between a higher water intake and healthy skin. It’s important to hydrate during the hours you are not fasting as your skin is made up of cells that need water to function properly.”
