What’s Inside My Handbag? Dr Thuha Jabbar’s Daily Aesthetic Essentials
Between running Almás Dentistry & Aesthetics, seeing patients for custom smile makeovers, and leading clinical training sessions, my schedule rarely slows down. Patients constantly ask me how I maintain fresh, hydrated skin and a naturally put-together look throughout a busy day without lugging around a full vanity case. The secret lies in a minimalist approach focused on high-performance staples that work hard beneath the surface. My handbag contains just three non-negotiable beauty and wellness essentials that keep me glowing from the inside out, no matter where the day takes me.

1. Nutrakos Drinkable Amino Acids
Radiance always begins on the inside. While topicals are essential, your skin needs raw structural components to maintain its elasticity, firmness, and barrier strength when facing long clinic hours and urban exposure. Collagen molecules themselves are often too large for efficient absorption, which is why I carry sachets of Nutrakos Drinkable Amino Acids wherever I go. Packed with a patented, precise sequence of amino acids, it supplies the body with the exact building blocks required to stimulate natural collagen and elastin synthesis. Slipping a sachet into my water bottle during a busy afternoon keeps my skin deeply hydrated and firm from within, serving as the ultimate effortless companion to any in-clinic treatment.

2. Almás Colour-Changing Lip Balm
Lip health is one of the most frequent topics patients bring up at Almás, whether they are looking to care for subtle lip dermal fillers or simply combat seasonal dryness. I formulated our Almás Colour-Changing Lip Balm to bridge the gap between deep, medical-grade barrier repair and effortless everyday cosmetics. Rich in deeply conditioning emollients, this balm intuitively reacts with the natural pH of your lips to reveal a subtle, custom shade of pink tailored uniquely to your skin tone. It instantly heals chapped lips while providing a gorgeous, natural flush that eliminates the need to constantly reapply heavy lipsticks or sticky glosses between appointments.

3. Obagi Medical Nu-Cil Eyelash Serum
I am a firm believer in low-maintenance, high-impact beauty solutions. Healthy lashes frame the eyes and instantly refresh your appearance, but heavy mascaras and extensions can compromise natural hair density over time. That is why Obagi Medical Nu-Cil Eyelash Serum stays permanently in my bag. Powered by advanced NCI Complex technology, this physician-formulated serum targets the active growth phase of the lash cycle to deliver visibly thicker, darker, and fuller lashes over time. Keeping it close at hand ensures I never skip my daily application, giving me naturally voluminous lashes even on minimal makeup days.
Achieving healthy skin, plump lips, and striking lashes does not require a complex ten-step morning routine or a heavy makeup bag. By investing in targeted internal nutrition, intelligent lip hydration, and medical-grade lash care, you can maintain a fresh, radiant look completely effortlessly.
