UTANO SKIN

Dubai, United Arab Emirates · NHAKA

Heat outside, air conditioning inside, in Dubai

Moving between dry heat and cold conditioned air all day is hard on skin. What worked for it.

UTANO NHAKA body butter held up in Dubai, United Arab Emirates

The conditions

Days spent moving between outdoor heat and heavily air-conditioned indoor spaces. Both dry skin out, and heavier balms felt suffocating in the heat.

What we suggested

NHAKA, our amber and coconut double butter, used sparingly on damp skin in the morning — a scoop about the size of a fingernail per limb rather than a handful.

What changed

Enough richness to hold through the swing between heat and cold air, without the greasy film a heavy balm leaves. Using less turned out to be the fix; the butter is whipped, so it goes much further than it looks like it will.
