The countdown to summer holidays has officially begun and preparing yourself – and your skin – for a sun-drenched season is of the utmost importance. In the beauty edition of The MOJEH Weekend, discover the latest innovation in sun protection and the hair specialist that will revitalise your tresses before takeoff.

What To Shop
The summer heat is relentless and, as the UV index continues to climb, the time has come to switch-out your everyday sunscreen for a stronger alternative. Augustinus Bader has launched The Solar Shield SPF 50, a body sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVA rays while preventing signs of sun-induced ageing. Powered by the brand’s cell-renewing TFC8 complex, it strengthens the skin barrier, soothes irritation, reduces uneven texture and supports an even, long-lasting glow. Shop now
What To Do
We are surrounded by stressors: rising temperatures, demands of the workplace and prioritising the needs of loved ones over self-care. These stressors can manifest in your hair, leaving you with lacklustre, thinning strands in need of a little TLC. The Hårklinikken Clinic in Dubai offers personalised programmes and treatment plans to not only reverse existing damage of the day-to-day but to promote long-term scalp health and hair growth. Begin with a scalp and hair analysis to identify problem areas and curate a haircare routine – infused with the science-backed Hair Gain Extract – that targets concerns. As we head into the hottest months (and upcoming summer holidays) there’s no better time for a refresh. Beach Road, Dubai. Book now

Where To Eat
