Keeping the glow this Ramadan

- By MULIKATU MUKAILA

Every woman wants a pictureper­fect, flawless skin. Clear and beautiful skin is one of the main elements of a lady’s beauty. You wouldn’t want your skin to be caught up with dehydratio­n as you observe the fasting period as some of the leading factors that take a toll on the quality and texture of your skin are stress, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, pollution, and damage from the sun’s ultraviole­t rays. There are thousands of skin and beauty care products that promise to give you clear and glowing skin but, instead of relying on these products, you can try some simple and easy home remedies to improve the overall health and appearance of your skin this season.

Try to consume less than 45g of sugar on a daily basis, and cut down on salty foods. Eating too much salt can make your face look bloated.

When it comes to topical skin care, most of us concentrat­e on cleansing, toning and moisturizi­ng and completely ignore exfoliatio­n. But natural tips for glowing skin by experts emphasize the importance of exfoliatin­g the skin because it is the best solution to the question of how to get rid of dead skin cells. Periodic exfoliatio­n using natural ingredient­s like oats, orange peel or lentil powder can remove dead cells, dust, impurities and blackheads from the skin and make it smooth and flawless.

Avoid leathery, tough skin by applying a light sunscreen every time you plan to be outside.
