Glow Into Summer: 10 Expert Tips For The Ultimate Skin & Hair Prep

As temperatures rise and beach days beckon, preparing your skin and hair for summer is more than just a seasonal switch—it’s an act of self-care.

Dr. Maya Shahsavari, Medical Director at Ouronyx Dubai, a leading destination for restorative medical aesthetics, shares her top 10 pre-summer skin and hair tips to help you feel radiant, confident, and ready to embrace the season with intention.

1. Prioritise a Medical-Grade SPF

Sun protection isn’t just for the beach — daily SPF is your best anti-ageing ally. Choose a broad-spectrum, medical-grade formula and remember to reapply every two hours to shield skin from pigmentation and sun-induced inflammation.

2. Opt for Lightweight, Hydrating Skincare

Swap heavy creams for breathable, moisture-boosting products. In-clinic skin boosters also deliver deep hydration and improve elasticity, leaving the complexion radiant and resilient throughout the heat and humidity.

3. Protect Your Hair from Sun Damage

The sun doesn’t just affect the skin; it can dry out and fade hair colour, too. Use a UV-protective mist or serum to shield strands from environmental aggressors and keep them nourished and shiny all summer long.

4. Tailor Your Skincare with 3D Analysis

Avoid guesswork with Ouronyx’s advanced 3D facial analysis. This ensures your regimen is precisely tailored to your needs, targeting skin dehydration, congestion, or sensitivity before they become seasonal concerns.

5. Stay Consistent with Antioxidants

Topical antioxidants, such as vitamin C serums, help combat free radical damage caused by sun exposure and pollution, while also reducing signs of irritation and pigmentation. Think of them as your skin’s daily armour, strengthening the barrier and enhancing brightness over time.

6. Consider Preventative Tweakments

Subtle enhancements like botulinum toxin can prevent dynamic lines from forming due to squinting or sun exposure. At Ouronyx, these treatments are expertly designed to maintain a natural, refreshed look with minimal downtime.

7. Go Light on Makeup or Skip It Entirely

Hot weather and heavy makeup don’t mix. Choose lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas, or go bare-skinned, especially if you’ve recently had aesthetic treatments like botulinum toxin or skin boosters. When paired with a strong skincare routine, this approach reveals your natural radiance.

8. Hydrate From the Inside Out

It’s not just about how much water you drink — true hydration comes from a combination of internal and external care. In addition to staying well-hydrated, consider hyaluronic acid-based treatments that help lock in moisture and maintain a plump, radiant complexion. Combined with a diet rich in water-dense foods, these adjustments help support skin resilience and natural glow from within.

9. Support Scalp and Hair Health

Scalp care is just as important in summer. Treatments like AMT (Autologous Micrografting Technology) and Tricopat at Ouronyx help fortify hair follicles and reduce shedding. For a more tailored approach, blood tests can identify nutrient deficiencies and guide personalised supplement and haircare plans.

10. Extend Care to Your Neck and Hands

Don’t stop at your face; your neck and hands are equally exposed to the sun and tend to show signs of ageing sooner. Incorporate these areas into your SPF and skincare routine, and consider targeted treatments to maintain the tone and texture.

Whether you're heading off on an summer getaway or staying local for the season, these expert tips will help you step into summer feeling fresh, empowered, and ready to glow.
