Summer Skin Check London: How to Protect Your Skin, Whilst Living this Summer

Long, hot days. Aperols in the garden. A spontaneous dip in the sea. We’re not here to tell you to stay inside all summer — far from it. At No. 23 Skin, we believe in skin that should be lived in. But we are here to help you protect it — and know when to check in.

Sun damage is real — but it’s also avoidable

You already know the drill: SPF 50, reapply often, and take a break from direct sun between 12–3pm. It sounds simple (and it is), but we know that life doesn’t always follow a perfect skincare schedule — especially on holiday.

That’s why now is the perfect time to book in with one of our dermatologists for a professional skin check.

Why book a Summer Skin Check?

Because early detection is everything. Moles can change over time — especially after long-term or intense sun exposure — and changes aren’t always easy to spot yourself.

At No. 23 Skin, our dermatologists don’t just take a quick look — we do a thorough head-to-toe mole check using dermoscopy and clinical expertise. If anything looks concerning, we can act fast with diagnosis and treatment. And if everything looks fine? You’ll walk away with peace of mind and personalised sun-safety advice tailored to your skin.

Already spotted a mole changing?

Maybe a mole that’s darker than it was last year. Or one that’s itching, flaking, or just feels…off. Don’t wait. Let us take a look. No panic, no pressure — just expert care and clarity. Do look for any new moles and any that change is size, shape or colour. Check out our quick guide here (please note this is not in place of in-person medical advice).

Skin support doesn’t stop at moles

If your skin’s feeling the effects of summer — breakouts, dryness, or a bit more redness than usual — we can help. Our dermatology consultations go beyond moles to address the full picture of your skin health. From perioral dermatitis to pigmentation, you’ll get a tailored treatment plan built around your skin.

Because looking after your skin isn’t about perfection — it’s about partnership.
