Can You Do Chemical Peels in Summer? | Lactic Acid Peel Demo + Tips

Why a Gentle Summer Peel Might Be Exactly What Your Skin Needs

If you’ve ever thought summer was off-limits for chemical exfoliation—think again. In our latest video, we take a deep dive into one of our favorite professional treatments: the Lactic Acid Peel Mask by Sanitas. Whether you’re navigating the Florida heat or just want a skin-refreshing ritual that won’t sideline your beach days, this gentle peel offers impressive benefits without the downtime.

Here are some key takeaways from the video:

1. Summer + Exfoliation = Totally Possible

Many people believe you should avoid chemical peels in the summer, but that’s a myth. As long as you're diligent with sun protection, you can absolutely exfoliate during warmer months. Lactic acid is particularly well-suited because it's both effective and mild.

2. Tailored Treatments Matter

We walk through our prep routine, which includes double cleansing and strategic use of pre-treatment products like Sanitas Glycolic Citrus Cleanser and GlycoSolution 10%. You’ll see how customization makes all the difference—especially if you're already using actives like tretinoin.

3. In-Clinic vs. At-Home

While the Lactic Acid Peel Mask used is a professional-only product, we also mention a solid at-home alternative: Sanitas Cranberry Lactic Mask. We also discuss how even as professionals we can overuse product - but properly dosed, a higher upfront cost doesn't always translate to higher cost per use.

4. Real-Time Application + Reactions

We show the full mask application and give honest feedback. From tingling sensations to subtle pinkness, it’s all there. The follow-up Collagen and Elastin mask? A skin-soothing dream packed with niacinamide and peptides.

Whether you're a skincare enthusiast or just looking for a way to freshen up your routine without overdoing it, this video delivers practical insights and plenty of personality. Your summer glow-up starts here.
