Why Dermaplaning Is a Summer Skincare Essential

As the seasons shift, so do your skin’s needs. Summer often brings increased sun exposure, higher humidity, and heavier use of SPF — all of which can contribute to buildup, congestion, and uneven texture. One of the most effective ways to keep your skin clear, smooth, and glowing through the warmer months? Dermaplaning.

At Calm Spirit Integrative Wellness, we recommend dermaplaning year-round, but it holds particular benefits during summer. Here’s why this gentle exfoliating treatment is one of our favorite seasonal essentials.

First, What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive treatment that uses a sterile, surgical-grade blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair (commonly known as peach fuzz). The result is a smoother, brighter complexion with no downtime — just immediate, visible results.

It’s a simple yet powerful way to refresh the skin, especially when performed regularly as part of your skincare maintenance.

Why it’s Perfect for Summer Skin

Summer means more sun, more sweat, more sunscreen, and sometimes, more skin congestion. Dermaplaning helps reset your skin for the season by:

👉 Enhanced product absorption and makeup performance

When the skin’s surface is clear of debris and buildup, your products don’t have to work as hard to do their job. Active ingredients in serums, moisturizers, and treatments can penetrate more effectively, helping you get the most out of your summer skincare routine.

Makeup also lays down more evenly, without clinging to dry patches or texture. Whether you prefer a natural glow or more polished coverage, dermaplaning helps your skin look its best underneath it all.

👉 Better sunscreen coverage

During the summer months (and all year-round), sun protection is non-negotiable.

Dermaplaning helps your SPF go on smoothly and uniformly, reducing patchiness or streaks that can occur when sunscreen settles over dead skin or fine hairs. That means better coverage — and better protection.

👉 Improved hydration and balanced skin

Warmer weather and frequent sun exposure can dehydrate the skin or disrupt its natural balance. By removing the layer of dead skin that can trap sweat, oil, and environmental buildup, dermaplaning encourages better hydration and a clearer complexion. It’s an excellent support for skin prone to dullness or congestion.

Ideal for Brides and Bridal Parties

Dermaplaning is one of our top recommendations for brides and bridal parties — and for good reason. It reduces texture, enhances brightness, and creates the kind of smooth, even glow that photographs beautifully. Whether you're walking down the aisle or standing beside someone who is, this treatment helps makeup go on flawlessly and stay looking fresh all day long.

We recommend booking your dermaplaning session at least one week ahead of your event to allow your skin to fully settle and shine. You can check out our bridal packages here.
