Myth Buster: Can You Get a Chemical Peel in the Summer?
Spoiler alert: Yes, you can — with the right approach and the right peel. At The Aesthetic Portal in Tampa, FL, we’re here to bust the myth that chemical peels are only for fall and winter. In reality, with modern formulations and proper aftercare, you can absolutely enjoy the benefits of The Perfect Derma Peel year-round — including summer.
The Myth: Chemical Peels and Sunshine Don’t Mix
One of the most common misconceptions we hear is that you should never get a chemical peel during the summer because of sun exposure. While it’s true that your skin is more sensitive after a peel, that doesn’t mean you have to put your skincare goals on hold for half the year.
The Truth: The Right Peel Makes All the Difference
The Perfect Derma Peel is safe, effective, and designed to work in all seasons — including Tampa’s sunny summers. This medical-grade peel contains glutathione, a powerhouse antioxidant, along with TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, kojic acid, and vitamin C. It works to:
Brighten dull skin
Reduce hyperpigmentation and sun damage
Improve acne and acne scarring
Minimize fine lines and pore size
Deliver an overall refreshed, youthful glow
What makes this peel especially summer-friendly is its ability to deliver results with minimal downtime and manageable peeling, so you can still enjoy your season — with a good SPF, of course!
Summer Skincare Success Starts With Smart Aftercare
Here’s how we ensure a safe and effective treatment during the hotter months:
Avoid direct sun exposure for 7–10 days post-peel
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily
Stay consistent with your post-peel skincare kit (provided with your treatment)
Hydrate and nourish your skin from the inside out
When you follow these simple guidelines, summer chemical peels can actually enhance your seasonal skincare routine, helping combat oiliness, congestion, and sun-induced pigmentation.
Why Summer is a Great Time to Peel
Think of summer as a reset button for your skin. The increased humidity can help with post-peel healing, and your skin may be more receptive to deeper rejuvenation. Whether you're prepping for a vacation or want to glow all season long, The Perfect Derma Peel is the perfect solution.
