Staying Hydrated: Why Your Skin and Body Are Thirsty in the Heat
Hydrate inside and out to beat the UAE summer. Your energy and skin will thank you.
We all know the UAE heat can be relentless, but what you may not realize is how silently dehydration can creep in. It’s not just affecting your energy levels, but your skin too. Here's how to stay hydrated, inside and out all summer long.
Signs You’re More Dehydrated Than You Think
Sure, thirst is obvious. But what about brain fog, headaches, low energy, or dry, dull skin? These are all common red flags. Your body needs consistent hydration to regulate temperature, support digestion, and maintain overall vitality.
When it comes to your skin, dehydration shows up as tightness, flakiness, dullness, and exaggerated fine lines. Even oily skin types aren’t immune. It’s not just a cosmetic issue. Dehydrated skin is more vulnerable to sensitivity, breakouts, and premature aging.
Your Daily Hydration Ritual
- Hydrate smart: Carry a reusable bottle and sip throughout the day.
- Balance electrolytes: Especially after sweating or exercising.
- Limit dehydrators: Caffeine, alcohol, and salty snacks can undo your progress.
- Moisturise correctly: Use products that lock in water, not just coat the skin.
- Two-pronged strategy: Hydrate topically and internally.
