Water

"Fasting can make facial skin dry, to dull to cause wrinkles due to dehydration. There is a close relationship between drinking water intake and skin health," explained dr. Umesh Nihalani, from Dubai London Clinic.
Avoid Fried
Fried food has become a typical Indonesian food, especially when breaking the fast. The reason is, many Indonesian foods have a fried process. Unfortunately, the idea of frying food is not always good, because eating fried and fatty foods can cause various problems on the facial skin.
Starting from the effect of the face so oily to acne. In addition, eating foods that contain high levels of sugar has a similar effect. Excess sugar can create wrinkles and make the skin loose.

Avoid Excess Carbs
Foods containing refined carbohydrates should be avoided. These foods are found in white flour, packaged foods and so on.
Refined carbohydrates are low in nutrients and can increase bad bacteria in the stomach. Of course this can cause acne to break out on the skin.

Dairy Food
Dairy Products or dairy products such as cheese, milk, and yogurt are indeed good and healthy. The protein content is useful for improving body health. But for people who have sensitive facial skin, this dairy product can trigger breakouts or breakouts to acne on the face.
According to Doctor Shazia, people with combination facial skin types and oily skin should avoid consuming too much milk, because it can trigger acne.
As a substitute for milk, you can eat more fruits and vegetables which are good for facial health. Like avocado which makes facial skin elastic and moist. Then there is papaya which reduces fine lines and wrinkles on the face.
Reduce Salty Food
If this one becomes a habit after breaking the fast, precisely at night. People tend to snack on savory snacks that contain a lot of salt.
Too often snacking on salty snacks, can make the body retain water. The effect makes the face look swollen, and triggers several problems on the face such as acne.
Many health experts recommend changing snacks to healthier but still delicious. Like fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins, as well as antioxidants to keep skin hydrated during Ramadan.
