A sensible everyday skin routine doesn't need to be complicated: a gentle cleanser, regular moisturising, and daily sun protection cover most of what makes a lasting difference, whatever the weather looks like outside.
Conditions like acne, eczema and psoriasis are all common and manageable rather than anything to feel embarrassed about, and a pharmacist or GP can point you towards suitable treatment. Any mole that's new, or changing in size, shape or colour, or an unusual patch of skin that isn't healing, is worth getting checked by a GP promptly rather than waiting to see.
