Why Skincare Needs to Be Different in the Middle Eas

The UAE’s hot, dry climate can dehydrate your skin, clog your pores, and accelerate aging if you don’t use the right skincare. Most traditional products are heavy, oil-based, or not suited for long wear in desert temperatures. That’s where vegan, breathable, and lightweight skincare makes a difference.

Key Challenges: Sun, Heat, and Humidity

Intense UV Exposure: Causes premature aging, sunburn, and pigmentation.
Excess Oil & Sweat: Leads to clogged pores and breakouts.
Dry Air Indoors: A/C can strip your skin of moisture.

Pro Tip: Always apply a lightweight moisturizer under your sunscreen to prevent dehydration.

The Benefits of a Vegan Skincare Routine

Vegan skincare uses botanical, plant-based ingredients without animal byproducts or testing. It’s ideal for sensitive skin and hot climates due to its breathable and non-comedogenic properties.

✅ 100% Cruelty-Free
🌱 Gentle and non-irritating
🍊 Packed with antioxidants and natural hydrators
🌞 Ideal for oily, sensitive, and combination skin

Step-by-Step: JANIWA’s Vegan Skincare Routine for Hot Weather

1. Gentle Vegan Cleanser

Start with a sulfate-free, pH-balanced cleanser to remove impurities and sweat without stripping your skin.

Try: A botanical-based foaming gel cleanser with aloe vera and chamomile.

Pro Tip: Avoid hot water—lukewarm cleansing prevents extra oil production.

2. Invisible Pore-Refining Primer

Use JANIWA Invisible Pore Cream to blur imperfections, control oil, and prep your skin for flawless makeup.

🌬️ Non-comedogenic & lightweight
🔍 Minimizes pores and controls shine

3. Lightweight Hydrating Serum

Look for serums with hyaluronic acid, squalane, or niacinamide that lock in moisture without heaviness.

Pro Tip: Keep your serum in the fridge for a refreshing cool-down boost.

4. SPF 50+ Waterproof Sunscreen

Daily sun protection is non-negotiable. Use a non-greasy, waterproof sunscreen with broad-spectrum UVA/UVB defense.

JANIWA Pick: Multi-Dimensional Waterproof Sunscreen with botanical extracts

5. Long-Wear Setting Spray

Seal everything in with a setting mist that hydrates and keeps makeup fresh even in high heat.

Try: JANIWA Setting Spray with ylang ylang & vitamin B3

Recommended Ingredients	Avoid in Hot Weather
Squalane	Coconut oil
Aloe Vera	Mineral oil
Chamomile Extract	Heavy silicones
Niacinamide	Alcohol-based toners
