The Riyadh Skincare Routine: How to Protect Your Skin from Heat & Dry Weather

Riyadh’s beauty is undeniable — but its hot, dry weather can be brutal on your skin. From year-round sunshine to air-conditioned offices, your skin faces constant dehydration and dullness.
Here’s how to build a simple, dermatologist-approved routine that keeps your skin glowing and balanced in the Saudi climate.
‍

Gentle Cleansing — Less Foam, More Care

Skip harsh foaming cleansers. Opt for hydrating, non-stripping formulas that protect your skin barrier.
Try products with ceramides, glycerin, or hyaluronic acid — they help lock in moisture even after rinsing.
‍

💡 Pro tip: In Riyadh, cleanse only twice a day — morning and night — to avoid over-drying.

Layer on Lightweight Hydration

After cleansing, apply a hydrating toner or essence followed by a light moisturizer. Look for ingredients like niacinamide, panthenol, and squalane — they keep the skin calm under A/C or the desert sun.
‍

Never Skip Sunscreen (Even Indoors)

Sun exposure is the number one cause of premature aging and dark spots. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ every single day — even if you’re mostly indoors. UV rays penetrate through windows, especially in cars and offices.
‍

Add a Night Repair Step

At night, give your skin some love.
A serum rich in hyaluronic acid or retinol (1–2x per week) helps repair damage and keep your glow consistent.
‍

Hydrate from the Inside

Drink plenty of water and eat foods rich in vitamin E and omega-3.
Your skincare only works its best when your body’s hydrated too.
