Good everyday skin care is fairly simple: a gentle cleanser, regular moisturising, and daily sun protection are the basics that make the biggest difference over time — particularly in a sunny coastal town like Worthing, where UV exposure can be higher than people expect, even on cloudy days.

Common skin complaints such as acne, eczema and psoriasis are all common, manageable conditions rather than anything to feel self-conscious about, and a pharmacist or GP can advise on suitable treatment. Get any mole that's new, changing in size, shape or colour, or an unusual skin patch that doesn't heal, checked promptly by a GP.
