Skin cycling is the newest trend to take over the beauty industry. The three-step process claims to increase the efficacy of your nighttime skincare routine.
The main benefit of adopting a skin cycling practise is that it can prevent damage to the skin barrier.
It’s an excellent way to form a dependable habit that will only benefit the skin’s functionality. Who doesn’t want smooth, glowing skin that is naturally glowing?
Night one: exfoliation
Exfoliation is the procedure used to remove dead skin cells from your skin’s surface.
It can be helpful for removing dry or dull skin, boosting blood flow, and brightening and enhancing the appearance of your skin.
Night two: retinoid
After cleansing on day two, apply a retinoid.
If you’re new to retinoids or skin cycling in general, start by applying a hydrating cream to the sensitive areas of your face, such as under the eyes, around the corners of your nose, and along the marionette lines, to act as a buffer and prevent dryness and irritation.
Then, apply your retinoid all over your face, down your neck, and across your décolletage.
Nights three and four: repair and recovery
To maintain the moisture barrier, give your skin a rest on the third and fourth nights. On recovery nights, the focus should be on moisture and hydration. For better outcomes, use ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin.
Skin cycling allows you to benefit from retinoids and exfoliants without causing any discomfort to your skin.
In Addition, For those who are overwhelmed by the sheer number of skincare options and don’t know where to start, skin cycling is an excellent starting point. Skin cycling is beneficial to all skin types.
A few minor adjustments will suffice depending on your skin type and goals. If your skin is dry or sensitive, try lower-grade retinol.
