πŸŒ™ Fasting & Skin Care: What the Science Says

As a Muslim dermatologist, I’m often asked if fasting dries out your skin.

The answer? Not directly.

Short-term daytime water restriction does not significantly dehydrate the skin β€” hydration is maintained by your skin barrier, not just how much water you drink during the day.

🧴 Moisturizer is still essential. It reduces transepidermal water loss and supports barrier repair. Apply after cleansing or wudu, and consider a richer cream at night.

πŸ’Š If you’re on oral acne medications like Isotretinoin (Accutane), Spironolactone, or antibiotics such as Doxycycline, they’re often better absorbed or better tolerated with food β€” making iftar the ideal time to take them (always follow your physician’s guidance).

🌞 And don’t forget sunscreen β€” fasting doesn’t block UV rays.

Ramadan is a time of discipline and intention. Your skincare routine can be too 🀍

✨ Stubborn Melasma? Let’s Talk Options.

Melasma can be one of the most frustrating pigment conditions β€” especially when it doesn’t respond to topicals and procedures alone.

For carefully selected patients, oral tranexamic acid (TXA) can be a helpful adjunct treatment.

πŸ”Ή Works by reducing UV-induced pigment pathways
πŸ”Ή Can improve resistant or recurrent melasma
πŸ”Ή Used in low doses under close medical supervision
πŸ”Ή Not for everyone β€” requires proper screening and risk assessment

As always, melasma treatment is multifactorial:

β˜€οΈ Strict photoprotection
🧴 Medical-grade topicals
πŸ§ͺ Procedures when appropriate
πŸ’Š And in select cases, oral therapy

Melasma is chronic β€” but with the right plan, it is manageable.

Our future is better together, with love and appreciation. We all win when we celebrate and protect each other.
