As the temperature soars, our skin needs a huge boost of hydration. It is SO important to give our skin that extra TLC during these sweltering months! Extreme climates cause water loss in your body which can lead to your skin feeling tight, and irritated. I’ve narrowed down my 2 favorite skin savers for summer in the desert…if you haven’t already, you MUST try these!
1. KJ Serums “HA-ppy Face”
This homegrown brand is made right here in the UAE! As the weather gets steamier in Dubai, our skin needs to be rescued with as much moisture as possible…but without that gluey finish. My absolute FAVE these days is Kathryn Jones’ hand blended “HA-ppy Face” serum. It is vegan, non-comedogenic and INTENSELY hydrating. Though I never stored the glass bottle in the refrigerator, it has a cooling/soothing effect that your face will love. It can be applied under your favorite moisturizer or by itself….I promise you…this one is a must try!
Why I love this product:
- The flawless finish
- Refreshes and cools the skin instantly
- Vegan & clean ingredients

2. Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré
This moisturizer already belongs to so many “holy grail” lists! It has been used for years on supermodels backstage during Fashion Week, way before it became easily accessible to the rest of us. This cruelty free moisturizer suits all skin types, even the ultra-sensitive! It is a must have for many makeup artists who love this light yet effective formula to apply under makeup. It has a skin smoothing texture and is packed with vitamins. I recommend using this cream for day & night. It can be applied directly onto the skin, or after your serum. It has a rich texture so a very small amount is all you need.
Why I love this product:
- It can be used as a makeup primer
- It has a smoothing effect on the skin
- Suits all skin types
