Why you should opt for an AFA peel this summer

Why AFA Peels are your skin’s best friend this summer

Gentle, effective, and sun-safe exfoliation for glowing summer skin.

When summer hits, many of us assume it’s time to hit pause on professional exfoliation—but not all peels are created equal. Unlike traditional chemical peels, AFA peels are specially formulated to be gentle on the skin while delivering real, visible results.

In fact, AFA peels are one of the few professional exfoliation treatments we recommend year-round—including during the sunny summer months.

What Makes AFA Peels Different?

Most chemical peels increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun (photosensitivity), making them better suited for cooler months. AFA peels, on the other hand, are uniquely non-photosensitizing. That means you can enjoy the benefits of a peel without increasing your risk of sun damage—as long as you’re still practicing good sun care habits (hello SPF!).

Here’s why AFA peels are a summer skincare hero:

+ Safe for summer use: No photosensitivity = no need to skip exfoliation when it’s sunny.


+ Boosts clarity: AFA’s blend of antioxidants and amino acids promotes healthy cell turnover and a radiant, even-toned complexion.

+ Great for sensitive skin: AFA peels are gentler and less irritating than traditional acid-based peels.

+ Supports all skin types: Whether you’re breakout-prone, dull, or struggling with pigmentation, there’s an AFA peel for you.

Two AFA Peels, Two Unique Benefits

At Pure + Simple, we offer two AFA peel options—both esthetician-approved for summertime skin goals.

Advanced Acne Control AFA Clay Peel
This is a two-step powerhouse: the AFA Clay Peel tightens pores and preps the skin, while the AFA Gel Peel dives deep to exfoliate and renew. It’s ideal for congested, oily, and acne-prone skin—perfect for those prone to summer breakouts or who want a clearer, more balanced complexion.

Brightening AFA Peel
Target pigmentation, uneven texture, and post-acne marks with this glow-getting treatment. Your esthetician will customize the strength of the peel to match your skin’s condition, making it a flexible and effective option even for first-timers or those with sensitive skin.

Summer Skincare, Upgraded

Exfoliation is key to keeping your skin fresh and vibrant—especially when heat, humidity, and sunscreen buildup are part of the daily routine. With AFA peels, you don’t have to sacrifice safety for results.
