3 Brightening Skincare Essentials To Put the Life Back in Your Complexion This Ramadan
Resurrect the glow
From Vitamin C to ectoin and more, we’ve rounded up our favourite new formulations for brighter, more radiant skin in our latest skincare edit.
Real talk: it’s been a hard couple of weeks for your skin. Between the back-to-back madness of Valentine’s Day, Chinese New Year, and Ramadan all falling within the same week, there really hasn’t been much opportunity for a break.
To make things worse, as the fasting month continues on, you’ll probably be doubling down with a questionable sleep schedule and insufficient water intake. The fatigue and dehydration alone are enough to send your skin into orbit, so if you’ve found that your complexion is looking a little dry, spotty, and crusty, know that you’re not alone this month.
