If there’s one consensus among beauty professionals in 2025, it is this: skincare is no longer only determined by what products are used; it is also dictated by timing.
The division between the morning and evening skincare routines has never been more pronounced due to rapid developments in skin ingredients, custom formulations, and deepening knowledge of skin’s inherent rhythms. The days of using the same cleanser, serum, and moisturizer amplifying the rest of the system's context are long gone. Now, science is beginning to support the theory that skin requires bespoke attention at different times of the day.
Especially for someone living in Dubai, the AM routine works as a fortified defense against a day filled with UV exposure, pollution, dust, humidity, and a whole lot of screen time. On the other hand, PM is all about repair and is when skin goes into recovery mode, rebuilding collagen, regenerating cells, healing, and replenishing what was lost during the day.
“Protect by day, restore by night” is what we at Eyana now, after years of witnessing this intentional split transform client skin. And in 2025, the timing, products, and techniques have become incredibly results driven, smarter and stronger.
☀️ 2025 AM Routine: Defense Mode Activated!
Your waking hours no longer start with “putting on your face,” but rather nurse your skin to fend off environmental threats. You’re up against UV radiation, pollution, blue light emitted by screens, and even emotional tension.
What’s Better in 2025:
Defensive Antioxidants are opt-out, not optional
“C” still reigns supreme, but it pairs up with polyphenols, niacinamide, and ferulic acid for multi-shielding action.
Integrated Infrared and Blue Light Protection
Sunscreen and moisturizers now claim IR-blockers and digital light defense for screen-aging and pigmentation.
Halid with obstacle support
Light serums with ceramids, peptides and postbiotics are trending to protect your skin microbiome and prevent dehydration from Dubai's dry climate + AC.
Skin-cycling-friendly layering
AM routines are more minimal—so you can save the exfoliation and actives for night. Less is more in the morning.
✅ Pro Tip from Eyana:
Don't skip SPF—but go for one with skincare benefits. Our clients love mineral sunscreens with added antioxidants and tint for a glowy, protective finish.
🌙 The 2025 PM Routine: Repair and Reset
Nighttime is when your skin goes into restoration mode. In 2025, the PM routine is all about working smarter—not harder—while you sleep.
What’s Changed:
Retinol isn’t the only hero anymore
Meet bakuchiol, retinaldehyde, and time-released retinoids—the gentler, smarter alternatives that deliver results with less irritation.
Barrier-first is the new rule
Barrier repair creams with cica, squalane, and ectoin are huge, especially post-actives. Skin minimalism is a must after harsh weather exposure.
Exfoliation is strategic, not daily
Skin cycling has taken over—alternating exfoliation, retinoids, and rest days to maximize results and minimize inflammation.
AI and adaptive formulas
Some high-end brands are using AI to personalize PM products based on daily skin needs. While not mainstream yet, customization is the future.
Sleep masks and overnight treatments
Sleeping masks with time-release technology are popular for sealing in moisture, especially in dry or air-conditioned rooms (hello, Dubai nights!).
✅ Pro Tip from Eyana:
Make your night routine a ritual. Add a calming facial massage, gua sha, or microcurrent tool to increase circulation and boost product absorption.
Dubai’s environment is intense—strong sun, dry air, dusty winds, and extreme indoor-outdoor transitions. A split, intentional skincare approach is crucial to:
Protect against UV and pollution damage
Restore hydration lost from AC
Prevent breakouts from sweat, dust, and makeup
Slow visible aging with smart actives
At Eyana, our skincare specialists craft personalized AM/PM routines based on your skin's current needs and Dubai’s changing climate.
