How to Transition Your Skincare Routine from Summer to Fall with Chemical Peels?
As the seasons change, so should your skincare routine. The transition from summer to fall is a challenge for our skin as it adjusts to less humidity and cooler temperatures.
This is where chemical peels step in as your skin’s best friend. A professional chemical peel treatment can effectively help you manage this transition by exfoliating the skin, removing the sun-damaged outer layers, and revealing a fresh, smooth, and radiant complexion underneath.
This fall, let’s embrace the change with the appropriate skincare treatment to keep your skin healthy, glowing, and rejuvenated.
Seasonal Skincare Routine
Adjusting your skincare routine according to the seasons is crucial to maintain your skin’s health and vitality. Each season brings unique environmental factors that impact your skin differently.
The summer sun can leave your skin dehydrated and damaged, while the chill of winter can strip away your skin’s natural moisture. On the other hand, fall and spring are transitional periods where your skin recovers and prepares for extreme temperatures.
Adapting your skincare routine to the seasons ensures your skin receives proper care and protection. Treatments like chemical peels enhance skin resilience and glow during transitions.
Understanding the Impact of Summer on Skin
Summer poses challenges to our skin, with increased exposure to harmful UV rays leading to issues like:
- premature aging
- sunburn
- skin cancer
The heat and humidity can cause dehydration, dryness, and flaky skin. High temperatures also compromise the skin’s protective barrier, making it more susceptible to irritants, infections, and acne outbreaks. In summary, summer can stress and damage our skin.
Common Skin Issues Post-Summer
During the summer, three common skin issues prevail:
- sunburn
- hyperpigmentation
- dryness
Sunburn occurs when the skin gets inflamed due to its inability to protect against strong UV rays. Continued exposure results in red, sore, and peeling skin.
Hyperpigmentation happens when melanin is overproduced, causing dark spots or patches.
Dryness is a common summer issue due to water evaporation from the skin. Regular hydration and a moisture-retaining skincare routine help maintain healthy skin.
What are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin to speed up its exfoliation process, making it a popular skincare treatment. This solution usually contains acids that deeply penetrate the skin, breaking down the old, damaged layers.
After the treatment, these outer layers of skin gradually peel off, revealing newer, healthier skin underneath.
Depending on the intensity of the peel, which can range from mild to deep, they can address a variety of skin concerns such as acne, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and sun damage.
By promoting the regeneration of skin, chemical peels not only enhance the complexion’s appearance but also improve its texture, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Types of Chemical Peels
Three main types of chemical peels are available, each with varying benefits depending on the depth of the peel and the skin issues targeted:
- Superficial Peels – Gently exfoliate the outer layer of the skin. They are effective for treating fine wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and dryness. With little to no recovery time, they provide a quick skin refresh.
- Medium Peels – Effectively target visible signs of skin damage like age spots, deeper wrinkles, and moderate discoloration. After a medium peel, the skin may appear red and slightly swollen, requiring a recovery period of 5-7 days.
- Deep Peels – Intensive skin treatments that penetrate multiple layers to address severe skin concerns. Due to their intensity, deep peels require a longer recovery period and should be performed under medical supervision.
Each peel offers unique benefits and can significantly improve your skin’s texture, tone, and clarity when used correctly and responsibly.

How to Incorporate Chemical Peels into Your Fall Skincare Routine
At New You Chicago, we understand the importance of pre-peel skin preparation and post-peel care for achieving the best results. Before your chemical peel session, we recommend you start by cleansing your skin daily with a mild cleanser to keep your skin hydrated and balanced. Avoid exfoliation or retinol products a week or longer before your peel to prevent excess sensitivity.
Post-peel care is equally vital to enhance the peel’s effectiveness and promote skin healing and regeneration. Immediately after your peel, your skin may feel a bit sensitive. It’s essential to keep it hydrated and protected from sun exposure. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every day, even when it’s cloudy.
Additionally, maintain a consistent skincare routine with gentle, non-irritating products. Our experienced professionals at New You Chicago will provide personalized skincare advice tailored to your needs. Your journey to radiant, healthy skin is our top priority!
Other Skincare Adjustments for Fall
As fall arrives, it’s crucial to make additional adjustments to your skincare routine beyond incorporating chemical peels. With the change in weather, your skin may start to feel drier and tighter. Boost your skin’s hydration and protection by using moisturizer or cream. Lock in moisture and keep your skin nourished throughout the day.
Sunscreen application should be non-negotiable throughout the year, and fall is no exception. Despite the cooler temperatures and less intense sunshine, harmful UV rays can still damage your skin. Continue to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from premature aging and hyperpigmentation.
Incorporating a serum with hyaluronic acid can provide an extra boost of hydration, promoting smoother and plumper skin.
