Overview
- In a new Times interview, the 51-year-old said she developed melasma after years of “baking” in the sun with husband Gordon Ramsay.
- She recalled a pharmacy worker asking about “stains” on her face, a moment she says spurred her to take sun safety more seriously.
- Ramsay now uses SPF50 daily, relies on fake tan, and favors Victoria Beckham Beauty products, while stressing she does not ask friends for freebies.
- Coverage notes Gordon Ramsay underwent surgery in August 2025 to remove basal cell carcinoma linked to sun exposure, after which he urged followers to use sunscreen.
- Medical sources describe melasma as harmless pigmentation that worsens with sunlight, with guidance from the NHS and dermatology bodies emphasizing strict sun protection and, when needed, supervised topical treatments.
