Skin fasting is a new Skin Care idea currently trending on the internet..and people are finding it to be very effective. The concept originates from the traditional/Ayurvedic concept of fasting. It gives your skin a potential ‘break’ from a toxic system, thereby giving it the opportunity to breathe and heal.
As an important note, it’s crucial to understand that skin fasting is not about quitting your skin care altogether! Rather, it’s a pared down regimen that is simple and minimalist, that takes care of your skin’s basic needs, while curtailing the usage of unnecessary products.
Reset, rebalance, and improve health through a simplified, scientific routine. This is all you need to learn about this trending topic:
What Is Skin Fasting?
As per ancient Ayurveda, dietary related fasting is a process of purification. It balances excess doshas/ bio-fire (or inflammatory processes) in the body and helps restore equilibrium. The best diets for fasting are often liquid or fruit based.
As a corollary to this, skin fasting limits your usage to only those products that are truly indispensable.
The term was first coined by a Japanese brand, which describes skin fasting as a method to normalize sebum secretion and support natural cellular rejuvenation. Skin experts and dermatologists suggest that fewer skincare products can help skin regain its overall health.
The Benefits of Skin Fasting
Some of the key Benefits of Skin Fasting are:
It let’s your skin breathe
With the rise of multi-step regimens and your personal attraction towards trying out new products, you may get stuck up in the cycle of product overloading without any net effective results. This overloading can causes issues like congestion, ie; the build-up of dead skin cells, sweat, impurities, and sebum in the pores. This leads to blackheads, uneven skin texture and dullness, as well as other adverse inflammatory reactions.
The practice of skin fasting is a conscious attempt to break this cycle, protecting your skin from overuse and misuse.
Allows regeneration of new skin cells.
Skin Fasting naturally repairs the stratum corneum. With the support of effective serum treatments, this practice improves cellular turnover. Cellular regeneration occurs much more quickly in younger skin, so improving this is very helpful in delaying the appearance of signs of aging and preventing other skin problems.
Reduced Sensitivity
If you have conditions like Rosacea, Psoriasis, or Eczema, exposure to fewer products reduces the chances of exposure to irritants as well as cross reaction with different ingredients/chemicals.
Rebuilds skin barrier strength.
The skin barrier or acid mantle is important to protect the skin from external stressors and maintain skin moisture levels. Unregulated pH levels can compromise this barrier. Using fewer and pH optimized formulas strengthen the barrier, and help it function optimally.
Should You Use Many Products on Skin?
Many of us love to indulge in too many skincare and makeup products.
But if it’s your long-time goal to find a regimen that leads to natural, healthier glow, then remember the key mantra – ‘less is more’!
Applying tons of products may not only be non-effective and confusing, but is also a waste of time, effort, and money.
Skin Fasting is coincidentally a great way to help you understand which products or ingredients actually work for your skin.
