In this episode of After Hours Skin Clinic, Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid take a deep dive into everything summer skin - unfiltered, medically sound, and actually helpful.

They’re breaking down the truth about tanning beds (yes, they do increase cancer risk), SPF factors and Vitamin D, fake tan, what tanning maximisers and accelerators really do to your skin, what tomato paste has to do with sun-safety and why freckles might be more than just a “cute summer look.”

You’ll also hear Ellie and Emma’s personal favourite body sunscreens (tried, tested, and loved), whether retinoids are safe to use in the warmer months, plus, they share their go-to summer tips and tricks from how they protect their skin and still spend all day iat the beach.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you should stop using your actives in the heat, how stay sun-safe and still have fun, or what sunscreen actually feels good on your body, this episode is for you.
