How to Build a Complete Baby Skincare Routine for UAE Climate
It can be tough for babies to have healthy skin when they're out in the sun (heat can dry up your baby's skin), but taking care of their delicate skin is always important. A baby's skin will lose moisture and become more susceptible to injury under UAE conditions due to the lack of humidity and constant use of air conditioning.
This article will feature a basic skin care regimen that works for babies in the UAE. As part of this regimen, we offer tips to help you combat the damaging effects of heat, dry air, and extreme temperatures on the delicate skin of your newborn.
🌞 Why Baby Skincare is Important in UAE Climate
The UAE environment can be harsh on delicate baby skin due to:
- High temperatures ☀️
- Dry air and dust 🌬️
- Constant exposure to air conditioning ❄️
These factors can lead to dryness, irritation, and sensitivity. That’s why using gentle, organic, and baby-safe products is key.
🌄 Morning Routine (5 minutes)
1. Baby powder — After changing their nappy, use baby powder on the folds of their neck, underarms, and nappy area.
2. Baby lotion — If taking your baby outside, be sure to apply baby lotion generously to your baby's arms, legs, and face for a moisture barrier.
🛀🫧Bath Time Routine (Evening — recommended 7–8pm)
3. Baby bath — For the entire body, use Babi Mild Head & Body Bath to wash your baby.
4. Baby oil — Within 3 minutes of bathing your baby, apply baby oil to slightly damp skin to seal in moisture.
5. Baby lotion — Apply baby lotion to dry areas (particularly elbows, knees, and face) of your baby after the application of oil.
6. Bedtime powder — Use baby powder to dust your baby before going to bed to ensure a calm, dry, and comfortable sleep.
❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid

UAE Parent Tip: Adjust With the Seasons Summer (May to September): Baby may lose moisture very quickly when outside so use a heavier baby lotion and apply baby oil two times a day. Use baby powder after every nappy change. Winter (October to April): Even though the air conditioning dries the air inside, moisture will still be taken from your baby. Continue to use baby oil and baby lotion, but you may not need to use as much baby powder since babies do not usually sweat as much during the winter. |
