Think Peels Are Just for Winter? Think Again—Here’s Why You Can Glow All Year Long
At Elevate + Co., one of the most common myths we hear is that chemical peels should only be done in the winter. While it's true that reduced sun exposure makes cooler months ideal for more aggressive treatments, the idea that peels are off-limits during summer is simply outdated.
The truth? You can receive chemical peels year-round—as long as you're working with experienced providers and practicing proper post-treatment care.
The Year-Round Power of Peels
Chemical peels are one of the most effective ways to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. Whether you're addressing acne, pigmentation, fine lines, or dullness, peels work by gently exfoliating the top layers of skin, encouraging cell turnover and revealing a healthier, more radiant complexion underneath.
Different seasons don’t change your skin concerns—and thankfully, they don’t have to interrupt your treatment plan either.
Modern Peels Are Smarter
Today’s chemical peels are more customizable than ever. At Elevate + Co., we offer a variety of level 1 and level 2 peels that are safe, effective, and can be tailored to your skin type, concerns, and lifestyle—even during sunnier months.
We adjust strength, depth, and ingredients based on your needs. Not every peel results in heavy flaking or downtime—many offer a light refresh with minimal visible peeling, making them easy to integrate into your summer skincare routine.
Sun Safety Is Key—Not Season
It’s not the season that dictates when you can get a peel—it’s how well you care for your skin afterwards. The key to successful year-round peeling is diligent sun protection.
That means:
Applying broad-spectrum SPF daily (we love EltaMD UV Clear)
Wearing hats or sunglasses during peak sun hours
Avoiding direct sun exposure for a few days post-treatment
When you're consistent with SPF and follow your provider's aftercare instructions, there's no reason to press pause on your skincare goals just because it's summer.
Maintain Your Glow Without the Wait
Instead of waiting until winter, give your skin the consistent care it deserves. Regular peels—scheduled in a thoughtful, seasonal plan—can keep your complexion glowing, clear, and youthful no matter the month.
