As Carmel Valentine in Hollyoaks, Gemma Merna is used to playing a perma-tanned beautician.
But when it comes to real-life, the 27-year-old actress prefers to protect her skin.
On her current honeymoon in Las Vegas with new husband Ian Minton, Merna has been lathering on lots of sun lotion.
So much fun: Gemma has been partying, shopping and hanging out by the pool during her two week honeymoon
But while she was wearing a high SPF, Merna still wore a black bikini as she lounged by the hotel pool with her spouse.
The couple arrived in Nevada's Sin City on June 4 and are spending two weeks in the sun before heading home to the UK.
Their honeymoon comes following their star-studded wedding in Liverpool on May 27.
Among the bridesmaids were her co-stars Jennifer Metcalfe, Jorgie Porter and Nicole Barber Lane, who play her on-screen family.
Despite revelling in the partying, shopping and poolside fun with her husband, it's clear Merna has been missing her co-stars.
She and Ian have both been tweeting Jennifer and former co-star Leah Hackett - who played Carmel's sister Tina until she was killed off in 2008.

Gemma tweeted Jennifer: 'U wud (sic) be proud I've been in the sun longer than an hour and I have tan lines from bikini top!I'm on SPF 30 x.
'I am just loving my holiday .... Chilling and shopping !!! Yay!!! X x x.'
As well as enjoying the weather, it appears the newlyweds have been over-indulging with alcohol.
Gemma wrote on Friday: 'So funny @IanMinton is so drunk from by the pool on champers I've had to put him to bed !!!! It's making me laugh so much x x.'
But on Monday, they were up bright and early to watch the England V France Euro match - which saw the teams draw 1-1.
Gemma tweeted: 'Breakfast in bed again !!!! I've been made to watch the England match also ... Let's hope we win or @IanMinton will be in a mood!!! Ha.'
