How can fasting affect your skin health?

Fasting during Ramadan can have both positive and negative effects on your skin health. On one hand, the detoxification process can lead to clearer skin as your body eliminates toxins. However, dehydration from not drinking water during the day can cause dryness and irritation. Additionally, changes in diet, particularly after iftar, can trigger skin issues, especially if you consume high-sugar or oily foods. To maintain healthy skin, it's essential to drink plenty of water during non-fasting hours, eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and practice good skincare. The NHS suggests consulting a dermatologist if you experience persistent skin problems during Ramadan.
