In May 2026, TikTok’s beauty and personal care ecosystem in the UAE was strongly shaped by skincare education, acne-treatment conversations, clinic-led beauty services, and continued interest in fragrance and luxury beauty. Unlike earlier months where perfume dominated, May showed a stronger shift toward problem-solving skincare content such as acne care, anti-aging routines, and dermatology-inspired treatments like botox and hydrafacials.
At the same time, beauty routines became more ingredient-driven, with users focusing on centella, PDRN, and Korean skincare brands like Skin1004. Salon services, hair styling, and grooming content also remained active, while makeup and aesthetic transformation trends continued to support short-form engagement.
