Getting Your Skin Ready to Shine at Dubai’s Big Events

When A-list events come to Dubai, all eyes are on the red carpet. As celebrities and influencers make their glamorous entrances, perfect skin is a must.

Leading skincare expert Natalia Derkach, Ph.D., founder of INSTYTUTUM Result-Driven Skincare, shares insider tips on preparing your skin to look radiant and camera-ready for any big event.

Skin Looks Lackluster Under Bright Lights

Under the hot lights and constant camera flashes on the red carpet, the slightest skin imperfections are magnified. Skin can look dull, uneven, and lackluster due to:

• dryness from Dubai’s arid climate;
• stress leading up to the big night;
• inadequate skincare prep;
• not removing makeup thoroughly;
• a poor night’s sleep
• too much alcohol, salt, or sugar before the event.

All of these factors can leave your complexion looking washed out and blotchy. No one wants to walk the red carpet with such a poor skin condition in front of the world’s cameras.

An Illuminating Facial Serum

To make your skin shine, Dr. Derkach recommends using one of the face serum INSTYTUTUM products. For example, X-Strength Retinol Serum’s advanced formula contains apricot and grape seed oils that give skin an instant radiance boost. The serum creates a soft-focus effect, blurring imperfections like fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven texture.

Potent antioxidants like astaxanthin defend against environmental stressors and dullness. The multi-molecular HA complex provides intense, long-lasting hydration. Your skin looks flawlessly smooth, hydrated, and illuminated.

How to Apply Serum for Remarkable Results

Follow this guide to apply the cosmetic product correctly and enhance the condition of your skin:

1. Cleanse skin thoroughly in the evening to remove all traces of makeup, oil, and impurities. Exfoliate 2–3 times a week to reveal fresh, glowing skin.
2. After cleansing, apply a few drops of the X-Strength Retinol Serum evenly across your face, neck, and décolletage.
3. Use gentle patting and sweeping motions to distribute the product evenly. Avoid rubbing.
4. Concentrate additional serum on the high points of the face, like the tops of cheekbones, the center of the forehead, and around the eyes and lips.
5. Allow the serum to fully absorb for a luminous, lit-from-within glow.
6. Follow with a rich night cream or mask to deeply nourish skin overnight.
7. In the morning, repeat serum application before sunscreen and makeup. Re-apply as needed for an instant radiance boost.

You need to do this consistently to maintain your skin in immaculate condition.

Additional Tips

You can also make use of additional tips that will not only improve the condition of your skin but also enhance your overall health:

• Stay hydrated leading up to the event by drinking plenty of water and applying hydrating mists and masks.
• Get 8+ hours of sleep the night before and several nights leading up. A well-rested face glows naturally.
• Avoid alcohol, sugar, salt, and cigarettes, which can dehydrate skin and exacerbate redness.
• Gently massage the face, neck, and décolletage to boost blood flow and give skin a healthy flush.
• Use a jade roller cooled in the fridge to relax facial tension.

By following these tips, you can effortlessly shine at the next event.
