Fasting all day sometimes makes our body weak, so that the face and body look gloomy and lethargic.
Even though it is normal to feel weak when fasting, as people who do activities outside, let alone meet lots of people, looking fresh is quite important to make us more confident.
To always look fresh all day while fasting during Ramadan, Beautynesia has summarized various tips that you can do!
Keep Skin Hydrated

When fasting, keep your skin hydrated. One thing that can keep your skin hydrated and moist is by drinking water at dawn and breaking the fast using the 2-4-2 method.
The 2-4-2 method is, 2 glasses at dawn, 2 glasses when breaking the fast, and 4 glasses after tarawih. Apart from that, you can also use products that hydrate the skin such as face mist, toner and moisturizer to avoid dry skin.
Consume balanced nutritious food at Sahur

Make sure you eat a balanced nutritious meal at dawn. This can make your body more ready to fast during the day. The combination of complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, can support your body all day.
You can get it in foods such as brown rice, eggs, lean meat, whole wheat bread and bananas. Avoid foods that are high in fat, spicy and caffeinated which actually cause drowsiness, fatigue and laziness.
Move Actively

On the first day, maybe we will adapt and tend to be lazier. To overcome this, try not to “get carried away” by this feeling of laziness.
Instead of limiting your movement, you should move actively, for example by doing light exercise, such as walking, stretching or yoga, which can be done at dawn.
Set a Sleep Schedule

Another tip to stay fresh in the month of Ramadan is to arrange your sleep schedule. Try to sleep before 10 pm. In the month of Ramadan, you will wake up for sahur, which reduces your usual sleep hours.
Lack of sleep can make your face look tired, your body weak all day, and even cause black eye bags.
Makeup and Dress Neatly

Makeup, dressing neatly and smelling good, must be applied during the fasting month to appear fresh. These three things really affect appearance. A pale face, messy clothes and a smelly body make your overall appearance bad.
So, make sure to re-touch, pay attention to the neatness of your clothes and spray perfume when your body smells bad.
Beauties, those are some tips for looking fresh while fasting in the month of Ramadan. By following the tips above, you are guaranteed to be more confident!
