Dealing with fluctuating electric current and dimming lightsfrom unreliable electrical grid?

LatelyOur country's electrical grid is notoriously unreliable and we've been having daily power outages.

Lately, all the apartments in my building (and our neighbors) have been having issues with the electric gridelectricity, and now I'm noticing that mywhere ceiling lamps (and other devices/appliances) are all momentarily dimming (I'm not sure if that's the right word). It's not flickering since the light doesn't goes off; it just loses "strength" for about a second or so and then goes back to its "regular" intensity.

The microwave is also momentarily losing power while heating something: the light dims a bit for a second or so.

I'm no electrician, but I'm sure this hurts our appliances. So whatWhat can I purchase to regulate these electric fluctuations?

FYI: the power company help service is practically non-existent.
