Skin Cycling: Why Your Skin Needs a Break Too
Share
What Is Skin Cycling?
Skin cycling is a modern, dermatologist-recommended skincare technique that involves rotating active ingredients with recovery nights. By giving your skin time to recover, this method enhances results while minimizing irritation.
The 4-Night Routine Explained:
Night 1 – Exfoliation: Use a chemical exfoliant like AHA or BHA (e.g., glycolic acid or salicylic acid) to slough off dead skin and prep the skin.
Night 2 – Retinoid Treatment: Apply a retinol-based serum like Age Renew Retinol Serum to boost collagen and reduce signs of ageing.
Nights 3 & 4 – Recovery: Use deeply hydrating, barrier-repair products like Hydra Boost Hyaluronic Serum to lock in moisture and support skin healing.
Benefits of Skin Cycling:
- Prevents overuse of harsh actives
- Reduces sensitivity and breakouts
- Boosts product performance
- Ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin
