Beat the Heat - Health and Fashion Tips for UAE Summers

dateAug 12, 2024

Summertime in the UAE can be both a blessing and a challenge. The sunny skies and vibrant culture call us outdoors, but the soaring temperatures demand a strategic approach to health and fashion. Here are some essential tips to help you beat the heat and stay stylish.


Embrace summer wellness


Maintaining your well-being during the intense summer heat is crucial. Start by adopting a holistic approach to your health. Focus on a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep. Join Fitness First at Sahara Centre to take advantage of their state-of-the-art facilities and expert trainers, who can guide you in tailoring your workouts to suit the hot weather.


Care for your skin: Use moisturizer and sunscreen


The UAE sun is relentless, and your skin can suffer if not properly protected. A high-quality moisturizer is essential to keep your skin hydrated and prevent it from becoming dry and flaky. Equally important is sunscreen – make sure to choose one with a high SPF to protect against harmful UV rays. Apply it generously on all exposed areas, and don't forget to reapply every two hours, especially if you're spending time outdoors. April Beauty, Bath & Body Works, and The Body Shop offer some of the best moisturizers and sunscreens for you. Additionally, wearing sunglasses can provide extra protection for your face. Visit Lenskart, Yateem Optician, and Doctor M for the best sunglasses.


Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water & eat juicy fruits


Staying hydrated is a top priority in the scorching UAE summer. Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily to keep your body cool and hydrated. In addition to water, incorporate hydrating foods like watermelon, oranges, and cucumbers into your diet. Carry a water bottle with you at all times and take regular sips to avoid dehydration.


Stay fit: Keep consistent with indoor workouts


While outdoor activities might be limited due to the heat, staying fit doesn't have to take a backseat. Embrace indoor workouts to keep your fitness routine on track. Join a gym, try home workout videos, or explore fitness classes like yoga, Pilates, or dance. Consider visiting Fitness First at Sahara Centre. They offer some of the best indoor fitness facilities, ensuring you have everything you need for a comprehensive workout.


Dress light and breezy: Explore fresh summery fits at Sahara Centre!


When it comes to fashion, comfort, and style go hand in hand during the summer months. Opt for light, breathable fabrics like cotton and linen to stay cool. Loose-fitting clothes in light colors can help reflect sunlight and keep your body temperature down. For the latest summer trends, head to Max Fashion, Centrepoint, LC Waikiki, and Forever 21 at Sahara Centre, where you'll find a wide range of summer outfits perfect for beating the heat.


By following these tips, you can enjoy the vibrant UAE summer while staying healthy and fashionable. Embrace wellness, protect your skin, stay hydrated, keep fit, and dress smartly to make the most of the season.


Remember, the key to beating the heat lies in preparation and making thoughtful choices that prioritize your well-being and style.
