Summer in Abu Dhabi is beautiful but intense. As the temperature rises, our skin faces challenges like increased oil production, sun damage, and dehydration from air conditioning. Adapting your skincare routine now can prevent breakouts and premature aging later.

1. Switch to Lighter Textures

Heavy creams can clog pores in the heat. Switch to gel-based moisturizers or lightweight lotions that provide hydration without the weight. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which binds water to the skin.

2. Double Down on Sun Protection

SPF is non-negotiable year-round, but in summer, you need to be vigilant. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, and remember to reapply every 2 hours if you're outdoors. Don't forget your neck, hands, and feet!

3. Exfoliate Wisely

Sweat and sunscreen can build up on your skin, leading to congestion. Gentle exfoliation 1–2 times a week is essential. Avoid harsh scrubs that cause micro-tears; instead, opt for chemical exfoliants like lactic acid or specialized salon treatments.

4. Hydrate Inside and Out

Drink plenty of water to compensate for what you lose through perspiration. Incorporating antioxidant-rich serums (like Vitamin C) can also help protect your skin from environmental stressors and UV damage.
