Raise your hand if you’ve ever faced the desert glow… not the good kind. Living in the UAE is amazing, but let’s be real, keeping our skin happy amidst the sun, sand, and endless to-do lists can feel like a full-time job. Forget fancy routines and endless products – we’re all busy queens. But guess what? We don’t have to sacrifice healthy skin for our hustle.
If you are looking for ways to simplify yet reveal your inner glow, here are the top 10 expert skincare recommendations for us, busy women in the UAE.
#1 Streamlined Cleansing with Expert Approval
Start your skincare journey with a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser. Dermatologists from the American Academy of Dermatology recommend formulations with hydrating ingredients like glycerin or hyaluronic acid, ensuring your skin stays clean and refreshed without over-drying.
Remember that how you wash your face can greatly impact your appearance. Here are some tips!
- Throw away those harsh cleansers. Choose a gentle, non-drying cleanser that cares for your skin. Think creamy clouds, not desert winds
- Warm water + fingers. Avoid using sponges or washcloths when washing your face. Just warm up some lukewarm water, massage the cleanser with circular motions, and let your fingertips do their magic. Trust me, your skin will thank you for the TLC.
- STOP scrubbing! Gentle is the name of the game. Think light massage, not sandblasting. Remember, your skin is delicate, treat it like a queen, not a dirty dish.
- Wash at least twice a day. Let’s be real, we all sweat – especially in this desert heat! And while sweat itself isn’t bad, leaving it on can be. So, after that morning gym session or a walk in the sun, give your skin a quick rinse.

Luxe Organix Aloe Vera Vitamin C 99% Hydrabright Cleanser 120ml
#2 Sunscreen and Beyond
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, a quality moisturizer with SPF is a must in the UAE’s sun-drenched environment. Look for broad-spectrum protection and additional hydrating elements to keep your skin shielded and supple.
However, far beyond the demands of using sunscreen, one doesn’t fully understand how much application is needed. Dermatologists recommend the following:
- For the face – Use approximately a pea-sized to nickel-sized amount of sunscreen.
- When to apply: Apply 30 minutes before you face the sun, every two hours for ultimate defense, and don’t forget to reapply after taking a plunge or getting your sweat on.
- For the entire body – Apply a generous amount, use one ounce or imagine about the size of a golf ball, or enough to fill the palm of your hand.
- Don’t forget to reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
Note that there is no such thing as “water-resistant” sunscreen. These sunscreens usually offer protection for about 40 – 80 in the water. It is better to keep an eye on the time and reapply.
Our favorite sunscreens are as follows:
