The Complete Guide: Ramadan Skincare and Tips to Keep Your Skin Glowing and Healthy

Ramadan is a month of spiritual reflection, but the long fasting hours can leave your skin feeling dry, dull, and tired. The key to maintaining a radiant glow is choosing gentle, hydrating products that nourish your skin while respecting your Halal values.

At Glam Touch, we’ve curated a simple, effective 5-step Halal-friendly K-beauty routine designed to keep your skin hydrated, plump, and glowing—inside and out—all month long.

Let’s get started.

Morning Routine:

Step 1: Cleanse with Banobagi Calming Gel to Foam

Fasting can make your skin more sensitive, so start your routine with a gentle, calming cleanser. The Banobagi Calming Gel to Foam Cleanser is perfect for sensitive, dry, or irritated skin.

Step 5: Don't Skip SPF

Sunscreen is a must—even during Ramadan! Protecting your skin from UV damage is essential to maintaining a healthy, radiant complexion while fasting.

If you’re skipping makeup but still want glowing, even-toned skin, try a tone-up sunscreen like the Espoir Water Splash Sun Cream Ceramide. This multi-functional vegan sunscreen provides SPF50+ PA++++ protection while nourishing the skin with ceramide and peptides, strengthening the skin barrier and enhancing your natural glow.

Prefer something lightweight that won’t clog pores or feel greasy throughout the day? The Espoir Water Splash Sun Cream Fresh Cica is perfect for hot weather, keeping your skin hydrated, fresh, and non-cakey all day long.

✨ Pro Tip: Use a hydrating mist during the day to instantly refresh and replenish moisture, especially after Wudu, to keep your skin feeling soft and hydrated.

Try a multi balm—a mess-free, stick-type moisturizer that you can easily apply anytime to keep your skin soft, hydrated, and glowing.

Evening Routine After Iftar: Post-Iftar Skincare Reset

After a long day of fasting, your skin craves hydration and rejuvenation. This post-Iftar skincare routine will help replenish moisture, soothe tired skin, and restore your natural glow.

Step 1: Double Cleanse

Remove makeup, sunscreen, and impurities with an oil-based cleanser like Yadah Pure Green Tea Cleansing Balm. Follow up with a gentle water-based cleanser to ensure a deep yet non-stripping cleanse.

Step 2: Exfoliate (1-2x a Week)

Gently slough away dead skin cells and reveal a brighter, smoother complexion with a mild exfoliator like Yadah Peeling Gel. This step helps prevent dullness and clogged pores during Ramadan.

Step 3: Hydrating Toner

Replenish moisture with a hydration-boosting toner like Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner for Sensitive Skin, which is alcohol-free and fragrance-free—perfect for soothing and strengthening the skin barrier.

Step 4: Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Combat dehydration by applying a hyaluronic acid serum to deeply quench thirsty skin and keep it plump and dewy.

Step 5: Lock in Hydration

Seal in moisture with a richer cream if your skin is dry, or opt for a lightweight gel moisturizer if you prefer a breathable finish.
