Abhishek Agarwal, a Mumbai CEO, said his 90‑hour fast left his mind sharper than it’s been in months. He also noticed his skin felt smoother, almost glowing, a side‑effect that caught his eye.
Fasting isn’t just about weight loss; it’s a reset button for the body’s natural detox pathways. By cutting out processed foods, you give your liver a breather, which can translate into clearer complexion.
Before you jump in, start with a 12‑hour water‑fast to gauge your tolerance. Keep a glass of coconut water or herbal tea at the end of each day to stay hydrated and soothe the gut.
When you do break the fast, choose nutrient‑dense foods: a bowl of mixed berries, a handful of almonds, and a protein smoothie with collagen powder. A light, sulfate‑free cleanser like CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser will let your skin breathe.
If you’re concerned about fatigue, add a magnesium supplement, or try a short 24‑hour fast first. Remember, it’s okay to listen to your body; if you feel dizzy, it’s time to eat a small snack.
Try adding The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 after your fast; it locks in moisture and can smooth fine lines. You’ll find it on Amazon or any local beauty store for about ₹999. The next time you’re craving a skin‑boosting challenge, give a 48‑hour fast a go.
