Spring is in full swing and, in the UAE, this means that scorching temperatures will be the norm from here on out. With the increasing temperatures and humidity comes an overhaul of your beauty routine – look to beauty products that prioritise longevity and heat-proof formulas that promise to stay put, no matter the weather. MOJEH rounds-up the spring beauty buys to keep your complexion flawless and hair frizz-free.
Hydro Grip Hydrating Primer, Milk Makeup
Bestsellers are bestsellers for a reason. Milk Makeup’s innovative primer is a makeup-bag staple for every beauty lover living in – or travelling to – a hot climate. Its hyaluronic acid-infused formula hydrates while gripping makeup for up to 12 hours, keeping your glam protected from the caking, creasing and fading that comes as a result of persistent sweat. Not only can you blot your complexion without fear of foundation lifting, but you can enjoy glowy, healthy-looking skin and smoother makeup application. We call that a win-win. Shop now
Terracotta Joli Teint, Guerlain
For the first time, Guerlain marries a 90 percent natural-origin formula with the power of active ingredients, resulting in a tinted moisturiser that protects from UV rays and improves the appearance of skin over time. Terracotta Joli Teint offers a sun-kissed glow that covers imperfections and evens skin tone for up to 24 hours thanks to a heat- and humidity-proof formula. Pro tip: apply the product with your fingers for a natural, second-skin finish. Shop now
Hair Hydrating Crème, Hårklinikken
While focus usually turns to skincare as temperatures change, haircare shouldn’t take a back seat – especially when summer typically goes hand-in-hand with frizz and flyaways. Hårklinikken’s Hair Hydrating Crème incorporates science and Scandinavian simplicity to shield your strands from heat and humidity. The lightweight mask delivers hydration without the heaviness, giving you the freedom to let your hair loose rather than relying on a slicked-back bun. Shop now
Éternité De Beauté Cushion, Gucci Beauty
If you lean towards powder formulas during the warmer months, look to Gucci Beauty’s latest matte cushion foundation for long-wearing coverage that is resistant to heat, humidity, sweat and water and offers SPF35 PA++++ protection. Comprised of 87 percent skincare ingredients, including hyaluronic acid and black rose oil, Éternité De Beauté Cushion creates a blurred, poreless complexion that lasts, without the cakiness usually associated with powder foundations.

Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer, Charlotte Tilbury
24-hour wear, full-coverage, non-cakey and humidity-proof – Charlotte Tilbury’s latest concealer can do it all. The mattifying concealer seamlessly blends into the skin, allowing it to move with you throughout the day rather than settle into fine lines; it is sweat-proof and transfer-resistant, and promises to banish dark circles, blemishes, puffiness, texture, pigmentation, redness and enlarged pores. Available in 34 shades across multiple overtones and undertones, this is one beauty staple to have on-hand this spring and beyond. Shop now
Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer, Dyson
Dyson has long been at the forefront of haircare innovation for its heat-without-harm approach. The Supersonic Nural hair dryer delivers fast-drying results without extreme heat – which means less frizz and sensitivity to humid conditions – and includes a Scalp Protect Mode to allow for air temperature adjustments that protect new hair growth and ensure your hair stays healthy from the inside-out.

The Easy Bake Loose Baking and Setting Powder is one such product: the humidity-resistant mattifying powder absorbs excess oil, moisturises the skin barrier and blurs pores for up to 18 hours, and coverage can be built throughout the day without cakiness.
