The most beautiful season is on and nothing feels more blessed than spending time with your family and close ones. Ramadan is all about fasting and following a lifestyle that is devoid of all things negative and evil. This also means that you must take some time out for yourself by taking care of your physical and mental health. This is crucial at this time because all the irregular sleep and food patterns might take a toll on you if you don't follow them the right way.
So, while you get refreshed and rejuvenated spiritually, we shall tell you how you can stay fresh and glowing throughout the season with a quick and easy Ramadan skin routine. Let us check out a few Ramadan skin care tips for healthy and glowing skin during Ramadan.
1. Cleansing
Cleansing is very important when it comes to healthy skin tips. It doesn't matter how amazing your Ramadan makeup looks if your skin underneath is not healthy. Clean skin is always happy skin any day. So make sure you cleanse your skin at least twice a day with a gentle face wash and throughout the day you can keep splashing regular water to feel fresh and hydrated.
Why Cleansing is Essential During Ramadan
During Ramadan, your skin can lose moisture and become more sensitive due to long fasting hours. A gentle cleanser removes dirt and excess oil without stripping your skin's natural moisture barrier.
2026 Cleansing Trend
Double cleansing has become the standard in 2026 for achieving that ultra-smooth base. Start with an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser for thoroughly clean skin.
IBA Recommendation:
For cleansing, you can try the Iba Vitamin C Face Wash (100ml) because this face wash is extremely mild and it is one of the best glowing skin products. With the goodness of Vitamin C, Hyaluronic acid, and gentle exfoliating beads, this face wash is a burst of freshness and care. You can also add this face wash as a part of your halal makeup kit.

2. Face Mist
Nothing is more refreshing than a burst of fresh and cooling mist on a warm summer afternoon. So as a part of healthy glowing skin tips, a face mist is a must, especially during the Ramadan season. During this season you tend to feel dehydrated very easily because of fasting and low water intake, and that gradually tends to show on your face and skin. For this, a facial mist works like magic. Your face mist not only makes you feel refreshed, but it also hydrates and moisturises your skin from within.
Why Face Mist is a Ramadan Essential
Dehydration is one of the biggest skin challenges during Ramadan. Long fasting hours can lead to dry, dull-looking skin. A hydrating face mist provides instant refreshment and helps maintain your skin's moisture balance throughout the day.
IBA Recommendation:
For this, the best face mist would be the Iba 3-in-1 Rose Water Toner (240ml). This toner helps in hydrating your skin, balances your skin's pH level, tightens pores, removes makeup, and also makes you feel refreshed instantly. If you are out and about flaunting your festive skin makeup and it tends to look and feel dull over a period of time, then simply spritz a few sprays of this mist and you will be good to go!

3. Moisturizer or Serum
As a major part of healthy skin tips for face, using a moisturiser or a face serum is absolutely necessary. Your halal foundation is not enough to make your skin look flawless and glowing - you need to take care from within. You either use a moisturiser or a face serum, but whatever you choose, make sure you use it on a daily basis.
Understanding Moisturizer vs Serum
The difference between a moisturiser and a serum is that the former is more creamy and packed with a blend of creams, oils, and other ingredients, while the latter is a concentrated product that seeps deep into your skin instantly. Both are great choices for healthy glowing skin, but make sure you are regular with them - every time you think of Ramadan makeup, don't forget to prep your skin. Read our detailed breakdown on face serum vs moisturiser to understand which suits your skin type best.
2026 Skincare Trend - Hybrid Products
Multi-functional products are huge in 2026. Look for moisturizers with built-in benefits or serums that combine multiple active ingredients for maximum impact during Ramadan's challenging schedule.

4. Lip Care
Lip care is another major part of healthy glowing skin tips and should be a part of skin care during Ramadan. When you are fasting and your water intake is low, the first thing that feels and looks extremely dry is your lips. So, taking care of your lips during Ramadan is extremely crucial. You can set up a lip care ritual along with your skincare ritual. If you have extremely dry lips then make sure you scrub your lips at least twice a week followed up with a lip mask. You can apply your lip mask every night before bed and wake up to soft, moisturised, and hydrated lips in the morning.
Complete Lip Care Routine
- Step 1 - Exfoliation: Scrub lips twice a week to remove dead skin
- Step 2 - Hydration: Apply halal lip balm throughout the day, even while fasting
- Step 3 - Pre-Makeup Prep: Apply lip balm 15 minutes before applying halal lipstick
Why Lip Care is Critical During Ramadan
Apart from this, get a halal lip balm and make sure you keep applying it throughout the day even when you are fasting. This will ensure moisturised and hydrated lips, which will also prevent dry, chapped, and cracking lips. Another important thing to follow while taking care of your lips during Ramadan is to prep your lips before getting ready for iftar. Apply a generous amount of your lip balm for at least 15 minutes before applying your halal lipstick. This will keep your lips moisturised even when you wear matte lipstick.
