The body has a core temperature of about 98.6F for most people. If you are in a hot environment, or have just taken a nice hot shower/bath, your core body temp is going to be affected. To get rid of the heat, the superficial blood vessels, just under your skin, dilate to release the heat to the skin, sometimes in the form of perspiration with a little help from the eccrine (sweat) glands. When those blood vessels dilate so close to the surface of the skin, it causes the skin to become red, flushed or florrid.

How do you get red skin when you step out without sunscreen?

Have you ever scalded yourself with very hot water from the tap? Noticed how red the skin was? That's exactly what happens when you go into the sun without sunscreen - the sun burnsyour skin - and a burn is a burn. It is skin damage. You should always use sunscreen.
