TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - After a month of fasting during Ramadan, Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr, a time for gathering with family and enjoying a variety of delicious foods. However, this transition from fasting to feasting can impact skin health if dietary habits, hydration, and lifestyle are not managed properly.
According to the Hindustan Times on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, skincare expert and Ambrosia Aesthetics founder Dr. Niketa Sonavane explained, "The fasting period changes the body's rhythm and your skin often feels the changes."
"Then, switching from fasting to indulging in feasting. These changes can trigger acne, dull skin, or even sudden excessive oiliness," she added.
To maintain healthy skin after Eid, she emphasized the importance of simple habits, such as staying hydrated. Inadequate fluid intake can lead to dehydration and dry skin due to a lack of essential nutrients.
"Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Coconut water is also good, it hydrates and also makes your skin naturally glow," she shared healthy skin tips.
Consuming at least 8-10 glasses of water and also adding hydrating foods such as watermelon, cucumber to replenish lost fluids and electrolytes. In addition, dates, almonds, walnuts, and fresh fruits such as pomegranate and papaya nourish the skin from the inside and help it naturally glow.
She also emphasized the importance of properly caring for the skin and ensuring enough sleep. This is because after Eid, wearing heavy makeup, staying up late, and consuming fatty foods can clog pores.
"Gentle cleansers and soothing night serums with collagen peptides can provide tremendous benefits. The skin also recovers during sleep, so make the most of your sleep time," she added. Furthermore, she suggested maintaining skin health by using sunscreen especially when going out.
"Don't forget to use sunscreen when going out during Eid. Even in cloudy weather or wearing makeup. Choose a sunscreen that does not sting the eyes and gives a moisturizing finish," she said.
Applying sufficient sunscreen helps protect the skin from dullness, sunburn, and hyperpigmentation. Opt for a hydrating sunscreen with at least SPF 30 for optimal protection.
Additionally, gentle facial massages can enhance blood circulation and promote lymphatic drainage, helping to reduce puffiness, especially around the eyes. For dull skin, incorporating a vitamin C serum can provide a brightening boost.
