When top cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Jason Emer (@jasonemermd) takes time outta his busy sched (you know- the usual, jetsetting around the world to deliver his expertise, treating celebs and us normal folk alike, and crafting his namesake *bomb AH* skincare brand) to give us some advice, we drop everything… and listen! Dr. Emer was recently in Dubai and 100% understands our next-level summer probs. He shared 5 of his best skincare tips with Cosmo ME and we are oh-so-grateful!

Wipe it down

Make room in your summer bag because Dr. Emer suggests always carrying cleansing wipes and using them…frequently! During the scorching Dubai days, sweat and overheating can worsen acne and clog your pores. Whether you’re lounging poolside at The Penthouse Dubai’s Skyline Swim or sweatin’ it out in a tennis match, cleansing wipes will keep your skin clean, moisturized, and decrease inflammation.

Dr. Emer recommends: Nudestix Nudeskin Vegan Bamboo Cleansing Cloths Dhs105 to soothe your skin while dissolving sweat and oil. Only carrying a clutch? No worries, NudeSkin wipes are individually wrapped in eco-conscious and biodegradable packaging!

Protect yo’self

Since we’re always doing at least two things at once (no judgement if you’re reading this while on the loo), we might as well make our SPF do double duty for us, too. For a VIP SPF upgrade, choose products with anti-aging antioxidant benefits like vitamin C and marine fraction to help tighten skin and boost collagen.

Bonus tip: Right before applying SPF, use a highly concentrated vitamin C serum to enhance the vitamin C already in your sunblock to maximize your anti-aging and antioxidant benefits. #thanksdoc!

Dr. Emer recommends: EMERAGESKIN Fusion Shield Dhs255 is the most advanced SPF BB cream on the market and will take your sunblock game to the next level. Not only does it correct, protect, and brighten your skin from within, but this oil-free and shine-control formula conceals blemishes, dark circles, and camouflages textural imperfections. Oh, and did we mention? It has a velvety finish that will look amazing in your selfies at your next brunch!

Stay hydrated
With the extreme hot and humid Dubai climate, hyaluronic acid is a must-have to keep the skin hydrated and skin barrier protected from dehydration and inflammation. Products that contain multiple types of hyaluronic acid protect the skin from redness, irritation, and sensitivity and give more radiance, suppleness, and a youthful appearance. Yes, please!
Dr Emer recommends: For a beautiful plumping effect and improved skin texture, EMERAGESKIN Hyla B Dhs357 hydrates the skin at every level with 4 different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid. This serum is also anti-inflammatory with tamarind seed and vitamin B5 for skin barrier protection. 

Glow with the flow
Toning and exfoliating are great steps to include in everyone’s skincare routine, especially those who break out in the summer. *raises hand* Keep your eyes out for water-based toners with alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and fruit extracts. These give the best results.

Dr. Emer recommends: NUDESTIX NUDESKIN Lemon-Aid Glow Micro-Peel Dhs124 dissolves excess oil, dirt, and pollution, and brings out your inner glow with it’s fruit-powered enzymatic peeling action. The benefits of everything you put on afterwards (cleansing, toning, and even medical grade treatments) will be given a massive boost.

Bonus tip: Love yourself enough to ditch the scrubs. Never use beads or grains as they damage the skin and can cause irritation, redness, and breakouts. Walnut scrubs, we’re looking at you!

Finish strong
To keep skin young and healthy, your last product should be hydrating and contain peptides and growth factors to repair damaged skin. Peptides help to activate the skin’s natural repair process and improve our skin tone and elasticity. Also, stem cells. Yes, you read that right, stem cells can go on the skin too and the *best* stem cells come from bone marrow. They are anti-inflammatory which is super important during the summer months when the skin is damaged with environmental toxins, chemicals, and the sun.

Dr. Emer recommends: To significantly reduce puffiness around the eye area (and take a few years off your face!), EMERAGESKIN ReFit Eye Dhs401 rebuilds, renews, and repairs skin with high potency peptides. It reduces fine lines and wrinkles and well as the appearance of shadows and dark circles around the eye area. Use AnteAGE MD Serum Dhs693 to restore your skin’s ability to heal itself. This serum contains stem cells, growth factors, peptides, and antioxidants and is the fountain of youth perfectly packaged in bottle form.

Bonus tip: Feel like your skin need results ASAP? Dr. Emer says it’s *always* the perfect time to start anti-aging at-home treatments. Check out Dr. Emer’s AERIFY kit Dhs912. It’s the first clinically advanced medical-grade driven, at-home peeling kit. ⁣⁣It contains six products from his Illuminating Mask to his Fusion Shield SPF to give you dreamy and glowing skin in just two weeks with the Dr. Emer touch.
