SKIN FASTING - here’s how you can tweak the trend to make it beneficial for you.
- what does the trend say :
Stop using ALL skin care products (other than a sunscreen & lip balm) for 2-4 weeks.
What do I say :
You can not skip a moisturiser for that long. Hydration and moisture is key in keeping your skin healthy and able to heal. Therefore, let’s tweak this trend a little :
Let’s try avoiding ACTIVES for 2-3 weeks. This could help reduce your skins inflammation, heal your skins barrier and help your skin take its time to repair and calm down.
⚠️ two things to be careful about :
1. Do not randomly stop actives if you are on a treatment plan prescribed by an expert / doctor for a specific condition such as acne / pigmentation
2. Remember, if you cut out actives, you need to be careful while re introducing them back into your skin care regime
SUMMARY :
Following the SKIN FASTING trend as is, is a NO NO from me. Instead, try cutting out actives for 2 weeks. Instead, focus on hydration and anti inflammation during this period.
Will you be trying this?? If yes , let me know in the comments!!
Also - in general, actives are better used if and when suggested by your dermatologist. Using actives without guidance can lead to a lot of inflammation, irritation and could worsen your skin’s condition.
