Summer is the season of sunshine, heat, and light skincare textures—but also the time when many people believe they must avoid exfoliation altogether. Fear of pigmentation, sun sensitivity, or skin damage from acids causes many to skip peels during the warmer months. But is that really necessary? At MONLIS Studio in Munich, we’re clearing up the most common myths about summer peels and sharing what really matters.
Myth 1: You should never get a peel in summer
False. Modern skincare has evolved, and many peeling treatments—both mechanical and chemical—are now formulated to be safe year-round. What truly matters is choosing the right type of peel, applying it correctly, and using consistent sun protection. At MONLIS Studio, we analyze your skin type and recommend the right approach—tailored to both the season and your skin’s specific needs.
Myth 2: Fruit acid peels are off-limits in summer
Not necessarily. While AHA peels like glycolic or lactic acid can increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight, lower-concentration fruit acid peels can still be used safely in summer with proper care. It’s important to apply the peel in the evening and follow up with broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen in the following days. At MONLIS Studio, we use only high-quality, controlled products that can be applied safely—even during summer months.
Myth 3: Peeling in summer causes pigmentation spots
Pigmentation is caused by UV exposure—not the peel itself. If the skin is left unprotected after a peel, UV rays can cause discoloration. The key isn’t avoiding peels altogether, but applying diligent sun protection. Our skincare experts at MONLIS will guide you on how to properly care for your skin and avoid risks—even in sunny weather.
Myth 4: Skin is too sensitive after a summer peel for daily life
It’s true that the skin can become more sensitive after a peel—but that applies year-round. With the right post-treatment care, such as hydrating products, sun protection, and gentle cleansing, irritation can be minimized. Gentle exfoliation methods like enzyme peels or mild acids (e.g., mandelic acid) are especially suitable for oily or blemish-prone skin in summer.
So, what should you keep in mind when doing a peel in summer?
The key is a personalized skin analysis, the right peeling technique, and professional execution. At MONLIS Studio in Munich, we use only carefully tested and skin-friendly products, ensuring that every treatment is tailored to your skin type and the external conditions.
Before every peel, we conduct an in-depth consultation to assess your current skin condition, explain the procedure, and provide tips for aftercare. Our goal is visible results—without compromising your skin's health or safety.
Which peels are especially suitable for summer?
Enzyme peels, gentle fruit acid treatments (e.g., mandelic acid), microdermabrasion with post-care SPF, and customized combination treatments—at MONLIS, we find the right solution for every skin type.
