Hi ladies!! I'm 18 hours into a 5 day fast. I'm fasting in anticipation of a wedding this coming weekend. There are 3 main reasons I'm choosing to fast this week:
(1) I'm feeling a little bloated at the moment because of cycle related reasons as well as some poor food choices this weekend
(2) I feel more social and engaging while fasting
(3) I want that bomb glowy fasting skin for next weekend!!!
I've done lots of fasts in the past and always love the way my skin looks and feels during a fast. Just wanted to solicit any amazing skin stories you all might have to give me some motivation for the coming week.
I'll start: On my last long fast, I noticed that my eyes looked super clear, bright and large. And my facial skin was super smooth, tight and more even toned. My hair also seemed to be extra glossy. Basically, my last extended fast turned me into a sleek, glowy goddess...

I just wrapped up a 36 day fast and my skin was AMAZING. I was getting complements left and right from everyone! It’s been 3 days since I broke my fast and of course I woke up this morning with a giant pimple on my chin 😂

My skin always looks great during a fast, and my hair behaves better too. That might be because I’ve more time to take it though, because I’m not rushing for breakfast.
Fasting really helps with a bit of eczema I get on my hands, which means I don’t have to use steroid cream, which makes me happy!
