Sunlight and Blemish-Prone Skin: What to Know

Many people feel their skin looks clearer after a sunny holiday. Here’s what’s really going on.

Why this skin can feel uncomfortable

A tan can make marks look less obvious for a while, but sun dries skin out and can leave marks looking darker later. Sun protection matters for every skin type.

A simple daily routine

1. Wash with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free cleanser. Hot water and harsh soaps can leave skin feeling tight.
2. Pat dry with a soft towel instead of rubbing.
3. Choose a light, non-comedogenic sunscreen.
4. While skin is still slightly damp, smooth on a thin layer of SKLEER gel over the areas that feel dry, rough or uncomfortable.
5. Follow with a plain moisturiser if your skin still feels thirsty, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen on exposed skin during the day.
6. Repeat morning and evening, and give any new routine a few weeks before judging how your skin looks and feels.

Everyday tips

• Seek shade at midday.
• Rinse off sweat and sunscreen in the evening.
• Don’t pick at blemishes.

A quick note: SKLEER is a cosmetic product. Patch-test on a small area first, and avoid broken skin and the eye area. If your skin is sore, changing or worrying you, see a doctor or pharmacist; this guide is about everyday skincare, not diagnosis.
