If you're on the skincare side of Tiktok, then I'm sure you've seen 'skin cycling' at least once. I bet you're wondering what is it too. Well, that's why I'm here to break it down for the girls who don't understand or know. Benefits of skin cycling: - It's safe for beginners in skincare - Helps protect the skin barrier To get familiar with what skin cycling actually is... Let's set up with the routine first! 1st Night: Exfoliation - Cleanser - Exfoliate - Serum - Moisturiser
Use a chemical exfoliant because physical exfoliants can damage the skin barrier and cause irritation.
Don't use exfoliants often, once a week is perfectly fine.
2nd Night: Retinol - Cleanser - Serum - Retinoid - Moisturiser
Retinoids can be super irritating at first for those whose skin isn't used to strong acne treatments
3rd & 4th Night: Recovery Nights - Cleanser - Serum - Moisturiser
Since the first two days were very strong for the skin alone, its best to allow your skin to recover.
If you feel the need to moisturise more than two nights, maybe three nights if you have dry skin, is perfectly okay.
Remember that skin cycling is not a process you can just jump into without knowledge, but you will succeed the process of clean and clear skin if you follow correctly.
