Facials during fasting: what are do's and don'ts?

The appearance of the skin during fasting usually looks dull and drier than normal days. This happens because the frequency of drinking water has decreased drastically, and there is also not much sleep time. That is why it is important to maintain healthy skin during the fasting month to keep it fresh and radiant. The reason is that having beautiful, bright, and smooth facial skin is the dream of almost all women. One way to maintain healthy skin is to do facial treatments during fasting.

Is facial while fasting safe?

Facials when fasting are basically the same as when you do it on a normal day. As long as during the facial treatment, you can hold back your emotions (understand, facials are quite painful!) And do not do other activities that can break your fast or reduce the essence of fasting itself. So as long as you can guarantee this, there is no problem doing various skin treatments such as facials during fasting.

To be safe, you can do facials while fasting at a beauty clinic that already has a certification in facial care. If you do facials at a beauty clinic, you can consult with the doctor concerned in determining the right treatment for your skin type. Especially if you do have sensitive skin types or other skin problems so that their safety will be guaranteed.

Things that must be considered when facials during fasting

Before facial

• Before doing facials, it's a good idea to consult a dermatologist or beauty therapist at your clinic first to ask whether your skin is ready for facial treatment or not.
• In addition, women with acne should be very careful. The reason is that improper facial care will actually worsen acne-prone skin. You may get more small pimples around the face.

After facial

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. The reason is that your skin can burn due to the sun's harmful rays which can cause skin reactions after facials. You can only be exposed to the sun after 2-4 hours after doing facials.
• Wash your face with cold water or ice water after 2 hours of doing your facial, especially if your skin is an oily skin type. When washing your face, don't use any soap or cream just yet!
• Don't touch your face with your hands if it's not really clean. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly first if you want to wipe your face using your hands. Let the skin pores absorb the benefits of the facial treatment you just did.
• Don't use makeup for a while. Give your face a break at least one day after doing the facial.
• You can do your own treatment again at home with a face mask after 2 days after facial. Tomato and cucumber are 2 natural ingredients that are safe and you can use them after facial.
• Don't do it eyebrows threading - plucking eyebrows with threads, and sauna for the next week because it will be bad for the pores and blood vessels that are under the surface of your skin.
• We recommend that you delay the plan to dye your hair or straighten your hair to minimize the chemicals from these products that may stick and affect your skin.
• If after doing facials, your skin experiences red spots, an itchy and hot sensation, inflammation that doesn't subside immediately, consult your doctor for further treatment.
