Tonny Makar Life in Dubai is such that your skin gets intense sunshine almost daily. Uncovered by the UV rays, the radiation may result in premature aging, dark spots, dryness and irritation. One of the most intelligent things one can do to maintain a healthy and glowing skin in such a climate is to have a simple and regular skincare routine. A plain routine you adhere to daily works more effectively than a complicated one that you miss when you have no time. Test new products individually so that you can determine the reaction of your skin.
Create a Routine, According to Skin Type
There are various needs of each type of skin, and this is why you should customize your products. Lightweight non-comedogenic formulas are beneficial to oily or acne-prone skin and help to manage oil and breakouts. The dry skin requires moisturizing and nourishing products that trap moisture and help to avoid flakiness. Combination skin needs to be balanced: use the oil in T-zone and hydrate cheeks.
Routine to Combination Skin
Combination skin normally implies an oily T-zone and a normal or dry cheek. Apply soft foaming cleanser that has salicylic acid to get rid of excess oil without leaving other parts dry. Apply with a toning agent such as witch hazel or niacinamide. Select a light and oil-free or gel moisturizer. Guard with a broad spectrum SPF of 50+ gel or waterproof sunscreen. Gently peel one or twice a week, using low-percentage AHA.
Routine Oily Skin
Oily skin is shiny and has big pores and frequent breakouts. Begin with a mild foaming cleanser with salicylic acid in it. Apply alcohol-free toner with witch hazel or tea tree oil. Use a light serum containing niacinamide to control oil and reduce inflammation. Apply an oil-free and non-comedogenic moisturizer. Apply a generalized SPF 50+ gel or water based sunscreen. Shower twice or thrice a week. HydraFacial Syndeo, Secret RF, chemical peels and Clear Skin laser are some of the professional treatments that perform well on acne prone and oily skin.
Routine Dry Skin
The skin looks dry, rough or flaky and requires additional hydration. Apply a hydrating and creamy cleanser that contains either glycerin or hyaluronic acid. Continue using an alcohol-free toner that includes rose water or chamomile. Use a hyaluronic acid or vitamin E serum. Pro treatments like HydraFacial Syndeo, skin boosters, and mesotherapy are deeply hydrating to the skin of the dry.
Routine on Sensitive Skin
Delicate skin is sensitive and requires a delicate treatment. Select a gentle and non-scented soap. Apply an alcohol-free chamomile or aloe toner. Use a lightweight serum containing niacinamide or centella to boost the skin barrier. Use a soft hydrating ceramide or oat extract moisturizer. It is usually well-tolerated by a mineral-based broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen. Patch test and introduce the new products gradually. HydraFacial Syndeo and calming mesotherapy are professional treatments that can be used to restore the balance without irritation.
Professional treatments recommended in Dubai
The climate in Dubai may pose a threat to the health of the skin, yet professional therapy has rather rapid effects. HydraFacial Syndeo as a deep cleansing treatment, chemical peels to improve texture and pigmentation, BBL HEROic and AFT light treatment to improve redness and tone, skin boosters and mesotherapy to improve skin hydration, Dermapen microneedling to stimulate collagen, and thread lifts to increase skin firmness are all popular. These therapies are best performed with a regular daily regimen.
