We regularly transform our wardrobe or rearrange our homes, but how about our skincare routine?

Living in the hot, humid climate of the Middle East exposes our skin to UV rays and dusty weather conditions, therefore a protective, proactive skincare regime is a must! Check out these top 5 useful tips from the skincare experts at Pond’s.

1. Unwind along with your skincare routine.

After a long hectic day in the office or running errands, your body and your skin needs to relax.  Having a reliable, restorative skin cleansing routine helps your pores breathe and re-energizes your skin. It also achieves blemish-free skin and resolves mysterious acne problems – so find a routine that works for you and stick with it on a daily basis.

2. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!

Using a face and body moisturizer twice a day should be a crucial part of your daily routine, even if you have oily skin. Not only does moisturizing prevent your skin from looking rough, it also delays skin aging signs and problems.

3. Eyes are the windows to the soul.

If your eyes are the first thing other people notice when they meet you, make sure they get as much attention as the rest of your face! Add an eye cream to your daily skincare routine; for the ultimate eye-therapy treatment, try Pond’s Duo Eye-Therapy UV Eye Cream, a unique formula with double the impact: collagen upper eye cream reduces lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet and lower eye cream with ‘chamomile’ extract to reduce puffiness and brighten dark circles after a big night.

4. Don’t forget to slather on sunscreen with a high SPF.

To make your daily skin care routine easier, opt for a day cream that has at least SPF 15 to protect the skin against UVA and UVB rays. Try Pond’s Gold Radiance Day Cream with SPF 15 or Pond’s Age Miracle, Daily Resurfacing Cream with SPF PA++ containing the unique Advanced CLA4 Complex – a new generation combination of powerful anti-aging ingredients CLA technology designed to help reduce unwanted age spots & wrinkles – fast!

5. H2O is the way to go.

Drinking a healthy amount of water (amount differs for each individual, however 8 glasses a day is usually recommended) is essential for your skin. Water also helps your organs in absorbing the nutrients such as vitamins like C and A that your skin needs to look healthy and radiant, especially after sun exposure. So keep a large bottle of water on your desk at work, at the gym for that workout, in the car when running errands, or at home – stay hydrated and stay healthy!
