Korean Skincare for Men in the UAE: A Simple 3-Step Routine
Men's skin deals with shaving, heat and sun. Three Korean products cover the basics.
Korean skincare is not only for long routines. Men's skin tends to be oilier and deals with daily shaving, which makes lightweight, calming K-beauty formulas a very good fit for the UAE climate. Start with three steps.
Step 1: Cleanse
Use a gentle foam morning and night: Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Cleanser 150 ml for most skin, or SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica BHA Foam 125ml if you get breakouts. After the gym, cleanse as soon as you can.
Step 2: Moisturise (yes, even oily skin)
A gel moisturiser absorbs fast and does not feel heavy in the heat: Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Soothing Gel 150 ml or iUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream 60ml. It also calms razor irritation.
Step 3: Sunscreen every morning
Sun damage causes dark spots and early lines. A light, matte formula like SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Poremizing Velvet Finish Sunscreen 50 ml does not look shiny, and a stick like Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick: Mugwort+Camelia 18 g fits in a pocket.
Level up
- Shaving bumps and redness: SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule 55 ml after shaving.
