During which season are peels not recommended due to stronger sun?

Spring
Summer
Autumn
Winter

The correct answer is: Summer

Peels are generally not recommended during summer due to the increased intensity of sunlight and UV radiation during this season. After undergoing a chemical peel, the skin can be more sensitive to sunlight, making it more susceptible to sunburn and hyperpigmentation. This heightened sensitivity requires careful sun protection to prevent complications. In contrast, during other seasons like autumn or winter, the sun's rays are typically less intense, allowing for safer recovery after a peel. Spring can also be a more moderate time compared to the peak of summer, though caution is still warranted if the weather is particularly sunny. Therefore, summer is the season when practitioners advise against conducting peels to ensure patient safety and optimal skin healing.
