Five tips for maintaining healthy skin and hair during Ramadan

Five tips for maintaining healthy skin and hair during Ramadan


It’s not only your belly and brain going hungry during your fast, your skin and hair are also desperate for nutrients. 


1. Increase your vitamin C

This is the best way to give your hair a little boost, as vitamin C stimulates the production of collagen which, not only strengthens your hair but also helps it to grow. 


2. Avoid sugar during meal times

There’s a number of ways sugar can leave your skin worse off, firstly, it increases oil production, which can dehydrate the skin and leave it looking lacklustre. It also binds to and damages proteins, including collagen and elastin, which can lead to saggy skin and wrinkles.


3. Increase your good fats

Keep your scalp and hair hydrated with foods that are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. 


4. Get a good night’s sleep

Your body recovers and repairs itself when you sleep, and this goes for skin and hair too. This is when your skin makes new collagen, which keeps wrinkles and sagging at bay. It boosts blood flow to the skin so you get that healthy glow, and a good sleep means less dark circles or puffiness around the eyes. Ramadan timings can make 7-9 hours of sleep difficult so grab a nap during the day.


5. Stay hydrated 

Water can help reduce the risk of dry scalp, dry skin, dry hair and chapped lips.
