Regular dermatology visits can help keep skin health in check. However, if you notice changes in the appearance of a mole or other skin lesion, persistent irritation, or any new or unusual skin concerns, these should be assessed by a dermatologist.

Looking after your skin in hot weather

Heat, strong sun, swimming, and time outdoors can all affect your skin and hair. A few practical habits can help reduce dryness, sun damage, and irritation during the warmer months.

Protect your skin from the sun

Use sunscreen and reapply it every two hours
Use an SPF lip balm
Avoid applying perfume directly to sun-exposed skin if it causes sensitivity or irritation

Keep skin hydrated

Drink water regularly through the day
Use a moisturiser suited to your skin
Gently exfoliate and moisturise your lips

Be gentle with skin and hair

Avoid deep exfoliation during periods of strong sun exposure
Choose lighter skincare and makeup where comfortable
Wash hair after swimming to reduce the effects of chlorine
Choose a balanced diet with fruit and other nutrient-rich foods

Check your moles

A dermatologist can carry out a full-body mole examination to monitor changes over time and assess concerns linked to sun exposure.
