Skin Care in Ramadan
This often leads to dull, tired-looking skin as well as dark circles, puffy eye bags and untimely breakouts if the diet is a bit heavy and oily which is a side effect of iftar indulgences! So, often the best Ramadan gift for her is something like a power serum which is Halal, contains no alcohol and absorbs quickly. This is great as a replenishment for skin which loses its natural glow and hydration due to a change in schedule.
Another Ramadan special gift is our 3-in-1 Rose Water Toner which is great for a quick refreshment especially after wudu or even several times through the day to just add a freshness to the day to day grind. Enriched with witch hazel and chamomile flower extracts, it helps soothe and calm the skin with just a few spritzes.
There are more tips, suggestions and tried and tested practices for a good and simple skincare routine for ramadan should you feel like you need help choosing products which are the best for you.
Makeup During Fasting & Ramadan
There has been a huge debate regarding the application of makeup in Ramadan. While there are no clear decrees forbidding makeup, the universal understanding is that most makeup is prohibited because it contains Haram ingredients like pig fat, carmine, claw and bone powder, etc. which should not anoint the body in general as well.
Usually, a lipstick as a Ramadan gift for her is frowned upon as one does end up ingesting the product when licking the lips unconsciously or getting it in your mouth during application. But if you are using products like Iba’s Transfer Proof Lipstick or the Maxx Matte Liquid Lipstick, then you need not worry, it will make the best Ramadan gift for your significant other and is guaranteed to make her smile.
If she is a makeup enthusiast then one of the most popular Ramadan gifts for women continues to be Iba makeup gift sets and boxes. They come in a range of budgets, product combinations and skin tone-suitable shades and are the best addition to her vanity. What makes every single makeup gift set a hit is that it is a 100% Halal makeup combo. Every single product is Halal, vegan and absolutely safe to use by any and all skin types, age groups, faiths and walks of life.
The most popular box is our Must Have Glam Look Makeup Box - it has 10 best selling makeup products for eyes, lips and face and is all you need for many many types of makeup looks - light going-out look, glam Iftaar party look, a dewy Eid look and so on!
One can also opt for the gorgeous Complete Makeup Box which is also a much-sought after gift box for makeup lovers. Both these options are at very reasonable prices and are on offer till Eid il Fitr.
FAQs
Can I apply makeup before I pray?
After you are done with your wudu, you can definitely apply Halal makeup products from Iba as per your liking.

Try to not be garish or very heavy on bright shades as the look most favored is subtle, glowing and natural.

Can we apply kajal and lipstick while fasting?
There are no rock solid prohibitions against applying kajal and lipstick while fasting. However, care should be taken that the intention behind application is not exhibitionism but more a personal choice for oneself and loved ones. Try to use products which are Halal so that you do not inadvertently apply something that voids your fast and your prayers.
Always remember - the best Ramadan gift for her is Halal beauty!
Should I continue my skin care in Ramadan?
Yes, yes and yes! Your skin care becomes even more important in Ramadan as your skin needs a little extra love and care due to all the ups and downs through long fasting hours. Make it a habit to have a skin care routine after you break your fast and you are done with your evening prayers and meal. Refresh and rejuvenate again in the morning either before or after suhoor so that you sleep back again and wake up to radiant skin in the morning!
Use moisturizer after you cleanse and please apply sunscreen if you step out. This will ensure that not just you but also your skin has a blessed Ramadan!
