skin fasting; abstaining from makeup to let skin recover
A skincare practice of temporarily stopping all cosmetics and skincare products to allow the skin to heal naturally. Often used in beauty and lifestyle contexts.
Since I started skin fasting, my skin condition has improved.
I practice skin fasting only on weekends.
Compound of 肌 (はだ, 'skin') and 断食 (だんじき, 'fasting'). The term likens giving the skin a break from products to fasting from food.
