The Truth Regarding Glass Skin: Can You Actually Achieve It in Dubai?

As of 2025, achieving ‘glass skin’ is no longer a mere fantasy, but rather an international beauty standard enabling people across different countries and cultures to connect. This phenomenon traces back to South Korea, where it was regarded as an integral part of a woman’s beauty philosophy. Unlike modern-day notions of beauty, which include makeup and filters, glass skin is all about having smooth and ultra-translucent skin that shines from within – hence, the term ‘glass.’ However, trying to achieve a ‘dewy perfection’ in Dubai, which is known for its harsh sun, desert climate, hard water, and pollution, could be an altogether different story.

Let’s break down what ‘glass skin’ really is, why achieving it could be an arduous task in cities like Dubai, and more importantly, how you can achieve it, with the right methods and professional treatment at the Eyana Beauty Salon.



What Is “Glass Skin,” Really?

‘Glass Skin’ is to be regarded as one of the highest forms of skin excellence, in which the skin is so clear, intensely hydrated, and smooth that it almost reflects light. On top of a consistent skincare regimen, one must ensure a properly maintained barrier, balanced exfoliation, hydration, nutrients, and nourishment levels.


To accomplish glass skin, the state of your skin has to be;

  • Unblemished and free from any sort of breakout
  • Symmetrical in the level of moisture, both oil and water.
  • Balanced in color and radiates a shimmer from within.
  • Deeply hydrated, not simply moisturized.
  • In simple terms, glass skin = skin that is healthy.

Why Dubai Makes It a Challenge

Skincare is no walk in the park when you live in Dubai. Even individuals with reasonably healthy skin may find it difficult due to environmental and lifestyle considerations. The following are some reasons from my side:

1. Hard Water

The hard water found in Dubai greatly disrupts the natural balance of pH and moisture levels in your skin. This leads to enhanced sensitivity in the form of increased dryness, flaking skin, and acne.


2. Extreme Heat and Sun

When summer arrives, Dubai witnesses scorching heat exceeding 40°C. This leads to skin issues like UV damage, pigmentation, and dehydration.

3. High Humidity

Pouring in moisture into the air may sound beneficial for dry skin, but it worsens the issue of excess oil and gives a more greasy than glowing natural look.


4. Urban Pollution

Airborne dust and pollution can do a number on your skin. Not only does it clog pores, but it's also responsible for the skin losing its charm.

But with the right knowledge on how to manage your routine and seek professional help in Dubai, you can achieve glass skin while being faced with all the issues listed above.



Dubai-Feruced routine for glass skin

1. Gentle double cleaning


A clean canvas is important. Start with an oil cleanser to dissolve SPF, makeup, and extra sebum. Follow a hydrating gel or foam cleanser to remove impurities without stripping the skin.


Pro Tip: Avoid cleansers with SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), which can dry the skin affected by hard water.

2. Mild exfoliation (chemical or physical)

Glass skin is not possible with stuffed pores or rough textures. Exfoliate with soft acids such as lactic, PHA, or mandelic acid 2-3 times a week.

Except the gritty scrub - they damage your skin surface and weaken your barrier over time.

3. Hydration layering

Hydration is the soul of glass skin. Lay your products from heavy to heavy:


  • Hydrating toner or essence with hyaluronic acid
  • Lightweight serum (niacinamide, peptides)
  • Gel-cream or water-based moisturizer

Look for products free from alcohol and synthetic fragrance, which can cause inflammation in sensitive Dubai skin.

4. Strengthen the Skin Barrier


Your skin barrier defends you from Dubai’s sun, dust, and heat. Repair and protect it with:

  • Ceramide serums
  • Panthenol (vitamin B5)
  • Peptide-rich moisturizers

Barrier repair = less redness, better hydration, and more glow.

5. Never Skip Sunscreen


You cannot get glass skin if your skin is battling UV rays. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+, preferably water-based or mineral, if you have oily or sensitive skin. Reapply every 2–3 hours.

Tinted sunscreens with niacinamide are trending in 2025 and work great in Dubai’s light-reflective environment.
