Are Chemical Peels Safe for Summer? Debunking the Myth.
Hi everyone, Em at Luminate Clinic here! I’m back to talk to you about a popular skincare myth. As temperatures rise and the sun beckons us outdoors, there’s a common misconception in the world of skincare: that chemical peels should be avoided during the summer months. Today, I’m here to debunk this myth and set the record straight on why summer might just be the perfect time to indulge in a rejuvenating chemical peel, especially the highly effective VI Peel.
Understanding Chemical Peels in Summer
Firstly, let’s address the concern: many fear that chemical peels, which involve the application of a chemical solution to exfoliate and improve skin texture, could cause heightened sensitivity to the sun. While it’s true that some peels can make your skin more vulnerable to UV rays, with proper precautions and the right type of peel, you can safely enjoy the benefits of chemical exfoliation even during summer.
The VI Peel Advantage
VI Peel, in particular, stands out as a safe and effective option for summer skincare. Known for its gentle yet powerful formulation, VI Peels are suitable for all skin types and can address a variety of concerns including acne, hyperpigmentation, and overall skin texture. This medical-grade peel contains a synergistic blend of powerful ingredients like TCA, salicylic acid, retinoic acid, and vitamin C, which work together to improve skin tone and texture without harsh side effects.
Preparation and Aftercare
Preparation is key to ensuring a successful chemical peel experience during the summer:
- Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a qualified skincare professional to determine if you are a good candidate for a VI Peel.
- Sun Protection: Prior to your peel, it’s crucial to commit to diligent sun protection. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily, and avoid excessive sun exposure for ideally twelve days before treatment.
- Hydration: Keep your skin well-hydrated leading up to your peel appointment. Hydrated skin tends to heal more efficiently. We have some great products in the clinic that you can pick up prior to your treatment to prep your skin, including our very own Luminate Pure Hydration Serum or the EXOE Ditox Serum which contains exosomes and helps increase your own skin’s hyaluronic acid content.
After your VI Peel treatment, follow these post-care tips to maximize results and minimize downtime:
- Avoid Sun Exposure: This is the most important step when receiving a chemical peel treatment in the summertime, so don’t skip it!!! Direct sun exposure should be avoided for at least a week post-peel. If you must be outdoors, wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, and reapply sunscreen every two hours.
- Gentle Skincare: Stick to gentle skincare products recommended to support the healing process and maximize your results. We will get you set up with a nice home care routine and send you detailed aftercare instructions post-treatment so you know exactly what to do.
- Hydration and Moisturization: Hydrate your skin adequately and use moisturizers to maintain a healthy skin barrier.
