From the products to add to your cart to the treatments worth booking before you fly — a considered edit for the season ahead Your 2026 Summer Skincare Edit: What to Buy and Which Treatments to Book Before You Fly From the products to add to your cart to the treatments worth booking before you fly — a considered edit for the season ahead by Sara Al Farsi 9 Jul 2026 As the season shifts and travel begins to shape the calendar, a good beauty routine becomes less about volume and more about precision. Summer in the UAE asks a great deal of the skin — heat, humidity and long hours of air conditioning all take their toll — which makes this the moment to pare back to the essentials that genuinely earn their place. From advanced sun protection and targeted skincare to restorative rituals worth booking before you travel, here is a considered edit of new-to-region launches and salon treatments designed to protect, repair and refresh, wherever the season leads. The Shelf Edit — Shop the Season Dr Teal's Epsom Salt Body Washes & Scrubs Price: AED 40 Built around Epsom salts, essential oils and nature-led ingredients, Dr Teal's body range is summer skincare pared back to what works. Begin the morning with the Epsom Salt Body Wash in Vitamin C & Citrus Oils — bright and energising, it evens tone and leaves a lit-from-within luminosity. For a mid-heat reset, the Eucalyptus & Spearmint Body Wash cools and clears in a single lather, while the Lavender Body Wash is the quiet wind-down for the hottest nights. For exfoliation, the Shea Sugar Body Scrub with Shea Butter & Almond Oil lifts away sunscreen, salt and sweat while leaving skin nourished; the mineral-rich Pink Himalayan Epsom Salt Body Scrub smooths rougher patches at heels and elbows; and the Citrus Shea Sugar Body Scrub finishes with a fresh, uplifting polish. Available at: leading supermarkets, pharmacies and e-commerce platforms across the UAE Shop: Dr Teal's range at Glambeaute Circadia Light Day Sunscreen SPF 37 Price: AED 236 A lightweight, non-greasy broad-spectrum SPF that guards against UVA and UVB while it hydrates and soothes. Suited to all skin types — including sensitive and post-treatment skin — it is enriched with antioxidant support to help defend against environmental stress. Apply to face, neck and ears fifteen minutes before sun exposure, and reapply throughout the day, especially after swimming or perspiring. Shop: Circadia Almora Botanica Restorative Night Oil Price: AED 597 A lightweight anti-ageing facial oil that does its work overnight. Rich in nutrient-dense botanicals with sunflower and sesame, it plumps, hydrates and nourishes as you sleep, so skin wakes supple and radiant with little need for make-up the next day. Warm one or two drops between the palms and press a thin layer over clean, dry skin before bed. Available at: Ulta Beauty, Dubai Mall & Faces, Mall of the Emirates Shop: Almora Botanica TIMEBEAM Sol Mate Sun Gummies Price: AED 154 (box of 30) Sun protection, considered from the inside out. One mango-cream gummy a day delivers Polypodium leucotomos, a fern-derived antioxidant studied for its ability to shield skin from UV and environmental damage that SPF alone can miss, alongside vitamins C and E for collagen support and free-radical defence. Zero sugar, vegan, gluten-free and third-party tested — designed to work with your sunscreen, never in place of it. Available at: Ulta Beauty, Dubai Mall & Mall of the Emirates Shop: TIMEBEAM at Ulta Beauty Spa Ceylon Virgin Coconut Skincare Discovery Set Price: AED 130 A complete ritual for dry, dehydrated or travel-tired skin, powered by pure virgin coconut oil rich in fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants. Each step cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates without stripping moisture, while botanical actives such as rice bran, green tea, aloe vera and moringa work to restore tone, balance and resilience. Skin feels softer and visibly healthier with continued use. Available at: spaceylon.ae KJ Serums Instant Effect De-Puffing Eye Pads (x3) Price: AED 69 Kathryn Jones' de-puffing gel pads revive tired, shadowed under-eyes on contact. Infused with red algae, hyaluronic acid and collagen peptides, they hydrate and soothe the delicate eye area, leaving it brighter, smoother and visibly de-puffed — a quietly useful one to pack for early flights. Available at: kjserums.com CELLBN Real Kelp Facial Mask Price: AED 126 A skin-reset essential for travel: a 100% natural mask crafted from sustainably hand-harvested kelp from Wando, South Korea. Rich in minerals and vitamins C and E, it rebalances hydration and revives the complexion with a cooling, soothing finish. Cut in two sections for a precise fit, it leaves skin brightened and replenished — ideal after long days, flights or sun. Available at: Privé7, Dubai & Abu Dhabi Shop: at Privé7 Rephrase 3D Hyaluronic Complex Price: AED 687 An advanced hydrator that layers three forms of hyaluronic acid across different depths of the skin, replenishing moisture lost to sun, flights and shifting climates. It softens dehydration lines and supports collagen, leaving the complexion plumper and visibly radiant — a considered investment for a dewy, travel-proof glow. Available at: Privé7, Dubai & Abu Dhabi Shop: at Privé7 Kydra Le Salon Absolu Mask Price: AED 320 An intensive repair mask for hair in need of renewal. Plant-based keratin rebuilds while organic calendula soothes, the formula anchored by sustainably hand-picked French pine cone, known to fortify and smooth. Hair is left glossier, stronger and more manageable. Available at: Privé7, Dubai & Abu Dhabi Shop: at Privé7 Velvety Signature Manicure Mask Price: AED 80 Hands are often the first to show their age, and this intensive mask gives them their due. Shea butter, glycerin and macadamia oil replenish moisture and smooth dryness while antioxidant actives support the skin barrier, leaving hands softer, suppler and velvet-finished. Available at: Privé7, Dubai & Abu Dhabi Shop: at Privé7 Book Before You Fly — The Treatments Cornerstone NAD+ Drip Price: On request For anyone with a long-haul flight or a packed itinerary ahead, an NAD+ IV drip makes a considered pre-travel reset. The naturally occurring coenzyme, central to cellular energy, is delivered straight into the bloodstream — often blended with B-complex vitamins, B12, vitamin C, magnesium and glutathione — to leave you feeling refreshed, energised and ready for the journey. Book appointment: Cornerstone Clinic, Dubai Marina Targeted Hair Treatments at Tara Rose Price: On request At Tara Rose, treatments are never an afterthought — they are built into a tailored 8-Step Hair Plan, each one chosen for what your hair needs now and how you want it to look in the long term. Whether it feels dry, fragile, dull or over-processed, the salon's targeted care restores balance and makes hair more manageable between appointments. No jargon, no one-size-fits-all — worth booking before a trip. Book Appointment: Tara Rose Salon , Al Quoz, Dubai March 14 Summer Beauty Reset Price: AED 295 Three treatments in a single sitting: a manicure with a regular polish colour of your choice, a quick-dry pedicure built for days you have somewhere to be, and a nourishing Kérastase hair mask to restore softness and shine.

Oris marks New York's restless energy with the 2,000-piece New York Harbor Limited Edition II, arriving globally in August 2025. Oris Launches the New York Harbor Limited Edition II Oris marks New York's restless energy with the 2,000-piece New York Harbor Limited Edition II, arriving globally in August 2025. by Rave Staff 18 August 2025 In New York, time feels different. It moves with the tide, it shifts with the skyline, and it carries the rhythm of a city that never pauses. It’s this energy and this urgency—that Oris captures with its latest creation: the New York Harbor Limited Edition II . This 2,000-piece Aquis Date, arriving globally in August 2025, is more than a watch. It’s a story of craftsmanship meeting conservation. The dial, a luminous aqua green mother-of-pearl, shimmers with the same fluid light you see when the sun catches the harbor’s surface, a subtle tribute to the oyster shells that inspired it. At 43.5 mm, framed in stainless steel with a unidirectional bezel, it’s engineered for performance yet designed with quiet elegance. Details matter. The domed sapphire crystal, treated with anti-reflective coating, deepens the play of light across the dial. Hands and indices glow with Super-LumiNova®, ensuring clarity whether you’re diving at 300 meters or glancing at your wrist under city lights. And the choice between a polished stainless-steel bracelet or an aqua green rubber strap makes it a companion for every setting, sharp with tailoring, effortless with weekend denim. Retailing at CHF 2,550, it’s a collector’s piece that feels grounded in purpose. Because behind the design lies a greater mission. Each watch supports the Billion Oyster Project, a pioneering initiative restoring life to New York Harbor. Since 2014, over 150 million oysters have been returned to the water, creating natural reefs, recycling discarded shells, and engaging thousands of students and volunteers in the city’s environmental revival. As Oris Co-CEO Rolf Studer reflects: “The ecological challenge can feel overwhelming, but when we work together, it gets easier. We’re proud to collaborate again with Billion Oyster Project and witness first-hand the change we’re bringing together.”

Today, with the support of 42 impact investors from various countries, Luchie and Eman continue to champion fine cocoa and healthy chocolates through Co-Chocolat. Their dedication to sourcing premium ingredients and promoting sustainable farming practices has not only elevated the chocolate-making process but also created a community-driven brand focused on delivering exceptional taste and nutritional value. Co-Chocolat's chocolates are crafted in micro-batches, ensuring each piece is a testament to quality and care. By sourcing beans from small-holding farmers who take pride in their produce, the brand not only supports local communities but also ensures the premium quality of its chocolates. With a commitment to transparency and traceability, Co-Chocolat invites consumers to not only indulge in delicious treats but also to support a sustainable and socially responsible chocolate-making process.
