It’s finally Ramadan, everybody! This is the time of year when Muslims fast all day to practice self-restraint and demonstrate their devotion to God. With a full day without food or nourishment, it’s vital to equip our skincare and cosmetics drawers/pouches with products that battle the dryness created by fasting, which may play havoc with your face. When Hari Raya celebrations begin, we want our skin to look fresh and beautiful.
There’s no better time than now to stock up on skin-loving ingredients that will keep your skin moisturised throughout the day and night! Whether it’s skincare or incorporating skincare qualities into your cosmetic regimen, we’ve got you covered.
