The 7 Steps of Skincare: Qatar’s 2025 Guide to a Healthy, Glowing Routine
Skincare routines can get overwhelming—7 steps, 10 steps, endless ingredients. But with Qatar’s desert heat, humidity shifts, and strong indoor AC, your skin needs a routine built for hydration, balance, and barrier health.
This guide breaks down the 7 essential steps of skincare—and shows you exactly how to apply them for maximum results. Whether you're dealing with dryness, oiliness, or sensitivity, this routine works for all skin types.
Why a 7-Step Routine Works in Qatar
Qatar’s climate pulls moisture from your skin and triggers dehydration, oil overproduction, and texture issues. A structured routine helps you:
- Cleanse away sweat, sunscreen, and dust
- Support your moisture barrier
- Layer hydration the right way
- Protect your skin from sun and AC damage
Let’s break it down step by step.
Step 1: Cleanser – Start With a Fresh Base
A gentle, non-stripping cleanser is essential in Qatar. It removes sunscreen, dust, and buildup without drying your skin.
Recommended: PEXORA Vitamin C Cleanser — brightens, refreshes, and keeps your skin balanced in hot weather.
Step 2: Exfoliation (2–3 times weekly)
Exfoliation helps unclog pores, smooth texture, and prevent buildup. In Qatar, where sweat and sunscreen mix, this is especially important.
Use sparingly to avoid irritation.
Step 3: Toner or Hydrating Mist
This step boosts hydration and preps your skin for serum absorption. Choose a hydrating toner instead of an alcohol-based one to avoid dryness.
Step 4: Treatment Serums – Target Your Skin Concerns
This is the powerhouse step. Choose serums based on your goals:
- Dry skin: Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C
- Oily skin: Niacinamide, lightweight hydration
- Anti-aging: Retinol, Peptides
Recommended: PEXORA Hyaluronic Acid Serum — deep, fast-absorbing hydration ideal for Qatar’s AC dryness.
Step 5: Moisturizer – Lock In Hydration
Your moisturizer seals everything in and prevents moisture loss. Choose a formula that strengthens your barrier without feeling heavy.
Recommended for dry skin: PEXORA Hyaluronic Moisturizer — a layered hydration formula built for Qatar’s climate.

Step 6: Eye Cream (Optional)
Great for people dealing with dark circles or puffiness due to lack of sleep, dehydration, or late-night schedules.
Step 7: SPF – The Non-Negotiable Step
If you live in Qatar, sunscreen is absolutely essential. UV rays are intense year-round, and skipping SPF makes every other step pointless.
Use SPF 30–50 daily, even on cloudy or indoor days.
