Myth Buster: Can You Get a Chemical Peel in the Summer? Absolutely!
Myth Buster: Can You Get a Chemical Peel in the Summer? Absolutely!

At Pensacola Better Bodies & Weight Loss, we’re here to clear up a common misconception: you can’t get a chemical peel during the summer. Not true! The Perfect Derma™ Peel is safe and effective all year long—even when the sun is shining its brightest.
For most clients, a series of 2–3 peels can dramatically improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. After your initial series, occasional maintenance peels every few months will help you maintain that smooth, youthful glow.
So what’s the catch?
Because chemical peels remove the top layer of dead skin cells, your skin is more sensitive to the sun right after treatment. But with just a few simple precautions, you can enjoy radiant summer skin safely.
Before Your Peel:
- Avoid sunburns – Don’t schedule your peel if you currently have a sunburn or significant sun exposure.
- Plan ahead – Wait at least 2 weeks after extended sun exposure (like a beach trip) before getting your peel.
- Timing matters – Make sure your peel is at least 2 weeks before any upcoming beach vacations or outdoor adventures.
After Your Peel:
- Minimize direct sun for about 2 weeks following your treatment.
- Always wear SPF 30 or higher on treated areas—especially your face and neck—and reapply every 2 hours when outdoors.
- Use sun-smart accessories like wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses for added protection.
