Skin Fasting Trend - Should you be trying this Lockdown skin Detox?

Skin Fasting Food

Wait, Make-up has taken a backseat, natural bare skin is the new trend on the block. Since we are all working from home, it only makes sense to utilise this time and let our skin breathe.

WHAT IS SKIN FAST?

While most of us work from the situation, you might find your skincare routine naturally taking a back seat. Skin fasting is simply minimising the number of steps of your routine or completely remove it. Well, the reasoning behind is different from person to person. Skin fasting will not give you the JLO glow but you might realise you will not need that number of bottles.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF SKIN FAST?

By minimising the number of products you use for a week or two, it helps it strengthen the natural defence system of the skin. The first time this term “skin fast” comes from a Japanese blog “The Mirai Clinical”.

Because the dependence of skincare products weakens its own rejuvenation system. It doesn't mean you will go without it for a month.

WHAT SHOULD YOU BE FASTING FROM?

It has been suggested to drop all the active ingredients – like Retinol, Vitamin C, AHA, and BHAs. Dermatologist says do not give-up sunscreen.

Always put sunscreen!

I think going full fast not necessary, if you can keep one moisturiser or face wash, it will be fine. If you would like to give it a spin – begin by removing one product one night a week for a couple of weeks from your skincare routine and measure any difference.

Drink plenty of water, exercise, and wash your face from water so you will be stripping the natural oils from your face.

IF YOU’RE STILL INTERESTED, TRY THIS INSTEAD.

Personally, I was terrified to take products from my routine after dealing with hormonal acne and stress-related breakouts for months. To be honest, you can start skin-fasting only at night. Also, if your skin is dry, it is not advisable to suddenly stop the routine. It is recommended beginning skin fasting when it's getting rainy outside so there is natural humidity in the air.
