How to Choose the Right Sunscreen for Dubai

Always SPF50+ in UAE

Dubai UV index 11+ demands SPF50+. Do not settle for SPF30 for outdoor use in summer.

Check UVA Rating

Look for PA++++ (Asian standard) or the UVA circle logo (European). Dubai UVA exposure accelerates skin aging year-round.

Water Resistance for Beach

For Dubai beaches and water parks, choose water-resistant formulas rated for 80 minutes. Reapply after towel-drying.

Mineral for Kids & Babies

Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are safest for children sensitive skin. Avoid oxybenzone and octinoxate for babies.
