Guide to Building a Skincare Routine for Dubai’s Dry, Sunny Weather

Living in Dubai means your skin faces a daily challenge: blazing sunshine, soaring temperatures, and dry desert air. These harsh elements can lead to dehydration, dullness, sensitivity, and even premature aging—especially if you don’t have a tailored skincare routine.

Luckily, IBS Beauty, Dubai’s trusted beauty destination since 2007, has everything you need to build a skincare regimen that protects, nourishes, and revives your skin—no matter how hot it gets outside. Let’s walk you through a step-by-step guide to weather-smart skincare using top-rated products available right now on IBSBeauty.ae.

Step 1: Gentle Cleansing

Heat, humidity, and sunscreen build-up can clog pores and dull your glow. Start and end your day with a cleanser that removes sweat, oil, and impurities—without drying out your skin.

Recommended: Eden Glam & Glo Acne Clear Set Kit

This 3-step kit includes a gentle cleanser that works wonders for oily and acne-prone skin. It removes dirt and sebum while maintaining your skin’s natural moisture barrier—ideal for Dubai’s sweaty summer days.

Step 2: Exfoliation (1–2x a Week)

Dead skin can trap heat and block hydration. Gently exfoliating once or twice a week helps clear the way for your serums and moisturizers to work more effectively.

Recommended: Eden Glam & Glo Snail Scrub

This scrub is infused with snail mucin, known for its healing and hydrating properties. It gently buffs away dead skin without causing irritation—perfect for sensitive or sun-stressed skin.

Step 3: Hydration & Moisturizing

Dry air and AC can quickly zap your skin’s moisture. A lightweight but powerful moisturizer will lock in hydration and protect your barrier.

Recommended: Fairlady Urea Repair Milk Lotion

This non-greasy formula contains 10% urea to deeply hydrate and soothe rough, flaky skin. It’s ideal for both face and body, especially after sun exposure.

Step 4: Daily Sun Protection (Non-Negotiable!)

SPF is your best friend in Dubai. No matter the season, always wear sunscreen to defend against sunburn, dark spots, and aging.

Recommended: Trimay Sun Cream SPF50+/PA++++

A cult favorite for a reason—this high-protection SPF is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and works beautifully under makeup. Whether you're heading out or just near a window, don’t skip this step!

Step 5: Targeted Treatments (Optional)

If you have specific concerns like acne or uneven tone, incorporate treatments after cleansing and before moisturizing.

• For Breakouts: Eden Glam & Glo Acne Clear Set Kit includes an anti-acne gel to calm inflammation and fade marks.

• For Brightening: Fairlady Extra Whitening Papaya Lotion combines the power of papaya enzymes to gently exfoliate and even out skin tone, giving your skin a healthy glow.

Step 6: Body Care Matters Too

Your body skin is exposed to the same harsh climate as your face. Treat it with the same care.

Recommended: Fairlady Extra Whitening Moisturizing Body Milk

Hydrating and brightening, this lotion offers all-over nourishment and helps restore even tone across arms, legs, and shoulders.

Dubai’s climate demands skincare that’s both gentle and effective. With the right products—and a consistent routine—you can protect your skin from the elements and enjoy a healthy, hydrated glow all year round.
