Body Care for Desert Dryness & KP: (Derm-Style Guide)
- Oct 24, 2025
- 3 min read

In desert climates like the UAE, low humidity + A/C can leave skin rough, flaky, and “bumpy” (often called KP or “chicken skin”). A smart fix pairs gentle exfoliation with barrier-friendly hydration. Two derm-favorite actives lead the way: urea (deeply hydrates and softens) and lactic acid (an AHA that smooths texture). IBS Beauty’s range includes a dedicated Urea Repair lotion and multiple Eden scrubs to round out the routine.
Why urea & lactic acid are a power duo
Urea (in Fairlady Urea Repair Milk Lotion): helps moisturize and soften rough, dry skin; the formula is positioned to improve tone/texture and support the barrier, with ceramides listed among its benefits. Ideal for KP-prone, very dry areas.
Lactic acid (general): a gentle AHA often used in body lotions for KP to loosen surface buildup and smooth the look of bumps. If you prefer a scrub format, Eden’s range includes options with natural fruit/tamarind acids for mild exfoliation.
Note: Keep language realistic; these cosmetics support smoother, more comfortable skin; they don’t diagnose or treat medical conditions.
Build your UAE-ready routine (simple & effective)
1) Exfoliate 1–3× weekly (face or body)
Choose the texture you like, then keep it gentle and consistent:
Eden Glam & Glo Rice + Vitamin E Scrub (200g): designed for regular use; rice particles + Vitamin E to smooth without harshness.
Eden Glam & Glo Turmeric Scrub (200g): brightening polish that helps even tone while lifting dull, flaky skin.
Eden Glam & Glo Tamarind Scrub (200g): uses tamarind’s natural acids for effective yet gentle exfoliation—great for KP texture.
Pro tip: IBS’s own guidance suggests using scrubs a few times per week and applying SPF in the morning after exfoliation.
2) Hydrate + smooth daily (the hero step)
Fairlady Urea Repair Milk Lotion (700ml): daily moisturizer to soften rough patches, support barrier function (ceramides), and improve skin texture with consistent use. Apply morning and night on clean, slightly damp skin.
Prefer a brightening finish for arms/legs?
Fairlady Extra Whitening Moisturizing Body Milk (700ml): lightweight hydration with Milk Protein + Vitamins C & E for a more even look.
Fairlady Extra Whitening Papaya Lotion (700ml): daily softening with papaya enzymes to gently renew dull, dry skin.
Lock-in tip: Apply body lotion within 3 minutes after bathing to seal in water. (IBS shares this timing in their dry-skin guide)
3) Be sun-smart (especially after exfoliation)
Morning routine on exposed areas = lotion → sunscreen. (IBS content repeatedly emphasizes daily SPF for UAE weather.) Reapply per label if you’re outdoors.
Quick picker: concern → recommended step
Concern | What to use | Why |
Rough, bumpy “KP” arms | Eden Tamarind Scrub 2–3×/wk → Fairlady Urea Repair daily | Natural acids smooth; urea softens & supports barrier. |
Dull, flaky shins | Eden Rice + Vit E Scrub → Urea Repair | Gentle polish + deep hydration for comfort. |
Dryness + want brighter tone | Eden Turmeric Scrub → Fairlady Extra Whitening Body Milk | Brightening exfoliation paired with Milk Protein + C & E. |
Very dry, rough patches | Urea Repair morning & night | Smoother feel with consistent use; barrier support with ceramides. |
UAE usage plan (keep it easy)
Mon/Wed/Fri: Eden scrub in the shower → pat dry → Fairlady Urea Repair (or your chosen Fairlady lotion).
Daily AM: Lotion on body → sunscreen on exposed areas.
Daily PM: Reapply Urea Repair to extra-dry spots (elbows, knees).
